I love apple anything. Saw this Apple Truffle Elaine from Sunny Simple Life shared on a recent post :

At a recent event, i got to taste Tamarindo Apples from Heavenly Apples

Delicious! They last for days,weeks at a time. Yet, for me they last just a few days.

I love Apple Pies. Totally yummy. Here's a great receipt via Taste Of Home

• 6 to 7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
