Maybe it is due to the endless bucket of freshly picked apples or these gloomy days that I rather stay in and cozy up with a glass of Spanish organic shiraz and play board games.

Whatever the reason may be, as a result I smell of apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. What can be better than the smell of baked goods in Autumn? Don't know how attractive that is... but they sure are delicious.

Well I may have over done it with the apples... maybe it is my replace of pumpkins for this season.

Though, I am craving a slice of pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream! Very North American of me. Deutschland has pumpkins but its not as convenient as pumpkin purée...

Happy baking.
