Seated around their weathered farm table overflowing with everyone&#8217;s seasonal creations, gazing out over the hills of Orange; chatting, sipping, and supping with friends old and new, the hours slipped away.<\/p>\n<p>The apples were Gravensteins, which I had been searching for since reading an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/features\/food\/la-fo-gravenstein-20110811,0,5841970.story\" target=\"_blank\">LA Times article<\/a> about their precarious future, and finally found at <a href=\"http:\/\/avilavalleybarn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Avila Valley Barn<\/a> in San Luis Obispo. Naturally, apple pie is the first thing that pops into your head, but not being a confident baker or having the desire to peel a bunch of apples, I thought baked apples were perfect for the season and, happily, the choice validated with hungry enthusiasm and stories of childhood memories of baked apples.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Baked-Apples.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7570\" title=\"Baked Apples at ShesCookin.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Baked-Apples.jpg?resize=518%2C345&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"518\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Baked-Apples.jpg?w=518&amp;ssl=1 518w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Baked-Apples.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>But, you&#8217;re probably confused as the lead-in photo is obviously not one of baked apples.
