A day trip to Julian...aka apple country!
View from Volcan Mountain.
Is that an apple tree I see..? :)
I couldn't leave Julian without something apple related. I bought 1/2 a peck of apples (2 bags)! There was an assorted variety of sizes and colors in each bag.
I ended up making 2 pies. The first one was a traditional apple pie. I used pretty much the same recipe as the apple pear pie I made for Thanksgiving, minus the pears this time.
With the second apple pie I decided to make a crumble topping. The streusel topping was very easy- just flour, brown sugar and butter.
In other exciting news- In Julian I found a lobster cookie cutter! and a tooth cookie cutter! Can't wait to make some exciting sugar cookie cutouts soon!
