you capture: autumn.

This week's you capture was autumn which I had a BALL shooting!  I had four or five pictures that completely summed up my view of autumn.  Unfortunately the camera decided to 'reformat itself' in the middle of my evening of shooting, so I really only have one photo to post.

One of my favorite views of autumn...burning bushes!  I love the red color that suddenly appears, it's so vibrant!

try this: swedish apple pie.

Apple pie is by far one of the ultimate fall comfort foods!  Especially when my Gramma makes it.  I rarely do since the act of preparing and rolling out a crust is too time-consuming for me.  Not to mention peeling apples always ends up in some type of injury for me.  BUT ever since I've stumbled upon this recipe, I've been making them left and right!  It's a type of crust-less apple pie with unpeeled apples!

Ingredients:

5-6 granny smith apples, cored and sliced

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 and 1/2 stick of butter

1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Butter a 9" pie pan and fill with apple slices.  Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon.  Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Pour over apples and spread.  Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown.  Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

you capture: technology.

No surprise that this week's you capture was pretty easy for me.  It only seemed right that I take a picture of the piece of technology that runs my life.  That's often referred to as 'the extension of my right arm'.

Crackberry much?  For more you capture, head over here!
