When Fall arrives in Michigan, we head to the cider mills.

There’s nothing like apple picking, snacking on freshly made cinnamon-sugar doughnuts while watching apples being pressed for apple cider – all while dodging bees.

Besides the traditional apple pies and crisps, oatmeal is my next favorite comfort food to bake apples in. With so many different ways for one to make oatmeal, I’m starting to think baked is the best. It comes out of the oven all light and fluffy and the apples are perfectly baked! Not to mention your home fills up with the smell of apples and cinnamon.
