Fall means apple season in North Carolina, the farmers around here grow a lot of varieties of apples. When you walk into the North Carolina State Farmers Market it's like walking into an orchard. In the fall of 2015 I visited the market, and fell in love with apples! Yo Momma has never been a huge apple fan, but I knew I had to bottle some of that goodness! I wanted an apple pie taste in a jar, not just my mother-in-law's apple butter. Don't get me wrong her apple butter is good, but I wanted it more savory. Hence the dates, and toasted walnuts. Try some over some warm oatmeal on a chilly winter morning to start your day off right!
Enjoy!
