november is winding down (can't believe it, really!) with many seasonal signs and familiar family traditions as always. the sun has been shining, the golden leaves are almost all off the trees and i baked a pie for my loved ones. mmmmmm.... inspired by the "crowd favorite" at the brooklyn pie bake-off i made a basic apple crumb with an improvised bacon and caramel creation on top. a little something sweet to share at our thanksgiving meal (who doesn't love a good pie?)... and it is something that seems as authentically autumn to me as running turkey trots, simmering cranberry sauce and giving thanks (all of which we enjoyed together these past few fall days here as well). fun stuff.
hope you have been enjoying some wonderful moments that capture the season too!
