Apple New Year: Apple and Honey Nachos

This year was the most successful apple picking adventure to date.

What made it so successful?  Two things:

1) The weather.  This was the first year ever the weather wasn't unbearably hot.  It actually felt like fall! It was even cool enough that the boys had to wear jackets.

2) The fruit was bountiful.  We had no problem filling up our bags with pears and apples.

That's right, pears AND apples.  We headed to our favorite orchard which has both.  Thatboy is obsessed with the pears.

Thatbaby also told me he was glad we came, because apparently he didn't know he liked pears.  Now he knows he loves the yellow ones.

One of the nicest things about this apple picking trip was that we did it the day before Rosh Hashanna, the Jewish New Year.  One of the holiday traditions is to have apples with honey, so this felt especially special.  And we got to have our own freshly picked apples with our honey.

I also made a special apple and honey dish for the family to share with our Rosh Hashanna supper - apple and honey nachos.  Apples sliced thin serve as a chip substitute and the toppings?  Well just like real nachos they're very customizable.  I drizzled honey and peanut butter over the apples and then added my own form of "salsa" - strawberries!  But you could use chocolate, caramel, or berry of your choice.
