Autumn cure.

It’s decidedly autumnal in my little corner of Ireland today, though summer’s not yet quite defeated. A day of rain, wind and falling leaves like this calls for stewed apples and I can hear a chorus of approval from @traceyjayne at such a thought.
So the tart cooking apples have been peeled and cored and their flesh has been chopped, put in the saucepan and onto the stove to stew in cinnamon and cloves.
A molitious warmth has pervaded the whole house, not just the scullery, and we can even sense a bit of Christmas coming on which is unfortunate because I dislike Christmas.
But stewed apples will make everything alright.

I don't usually like apples but that does sound good. I'm not much for Christmas either. My favorite holiday is Halloween.

That sounds nice! We will still have summer for at least another 10 days. We've got heat advisories listed for that long.... (In the mid-90s/around 35C, which is HOT for my area.)
You could always ignore Christmas. We make foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas but haven't had guests or bought presents in 10 years or more.
