Girl Scouts giving and learning........

We picked apples at the leaders family farm just east of town. Lovely small red apples, perfect for giving in a basket! Each girl bundled up a basket for their family and one for a friend. Attached was a little recipe booklet with 6 apple recipes. (The muffin one was fantastic by the way...so I am sharing it!!)
