Insights on Literature, etiquette, and Beauty from a Catholic wife and mom

One of our goals this month was to go apple picking! Every weekend has been filled for the past few weeks, so we decided this morning to go to the orchard right after Mike got home from work. We could not have chosen a more perfect day! After weeks of rain, today was warm, beautiful, and sunny! We were some of the only people at the orchard and it was so peaceful to be together as a family.

We picked a peck of apples and cannot wait to make some apple pies! Here are three of our favorite apple pie recipes, ones that we make each year! Do you have a favorite apple pie recipe?
