  • Baked Apples for Two (or More)

    There’s little better than baked apples. They are the perfect fall dessert. But for some reason, in my head, they always sound like a lot of work. Is it just me? I thought they would take forever to cook, but when I started figuring out my perfect version, I discovered you can have something really delicious…

Megan shared photos from the Louisburg Cider Mill on Instagram, and people, I was excited to go before, but now I…
