And now a delicious recipe for autumn.
I love fall and I love apples, oven baked apples with an ice cream are so so good. I found a new recipe for oven baked apples from Nami-Nami food blog. 

Oven-baked Toffee Apples

Ingredients:
* 5 to six large firm apples
Toffee-almond topping:
* 50 g almond slices
* 50 g unsalted butter
* 200 ml soft brown sugar
* 100 ml whipping or double cream
* 1 Tbsp potato flour
To serve:
vanilla ice cream
Method:
* Peel the apples (optional), halve and core them.
* Fit them snugly into a buttered oven-dish, cut-side down.
* Mix brown sugar and potato flour in a small saucepan, add butter, almond slices, and cream, and bring slowly to the boil, stirring regularly.
* Spoon the toffee mixture onto the apples.
* Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 200 C / 400 F oven for 20-30 minutes (cooking time depends on the apples), until apples are cooked and toffee topping has thickened.
* Cool a little and serve with ice cream.

My First Give-Away! (Closed)

I've always liked the concept of giveaways and have wanted to do one for a long time, but wasn't sure what I could give away. Then Janet from Amelia’s Soap Co. offered to give away two handcrafted artisan shea butter bars for my readers. Isn’t she great! :)

Janet started making soap in 2002 and says that, if a person is going to take the time to produce something by hand, it makes sense to use the finest ingredients. That means she gets to work with wonderful oils and rich butters and luscious essential oils! The final result is pure soap that your skin will absolutely adore!

From Amelia’s Soap Co. Etsy shop you can find four different kind of products:

* Shea Butter Bars (the ones she is giving away): made with above-average ingredients, are one of the specialties at Amelia’s - they are premium grade.

*  All Naturals are soaps made with essential oils only.

* Numbered Fruitions are made with both fragrance oil and essential oil.

* Fun and Beneficial includes helpful and/or "good for you" soap and bath creations.

All Amelia’s soaps are preservative, gluten, detergent and additive free, and vegan (no animal fats). So it’s perfect for your skin. All of her products are made with healthful ingredients! Making great soap is what she loves!
And as a bonus for a shopper, she also loves wrapping her soaps in different ways. So all of her wonderful soaps look great when they arrive at your house!

Sounds interesting? Check her shop and make your order! She has amazing prices :) Can’t wait when mine arrives!

----------------------------------------------------------
Now about the giveaway.

The winner can choose two Shea Butter Bars  from these fragrances (click on the photo to see descriptions):
