Last Friday we took the afternoon off work and visited an apple orchard and pumpkin catch with C and my in-laws – All Seasons Orchard. It is the BEST pumpkin patch with lots of activities for kids, both little and big. C loved the animals {goats, sheep, bunnies, and chickens} and the pumpkin patch.

He also loved checking out the corn on the edge of All Seasons’ corn maze. The first weekend of November {this weekend!} is the last weekend that All Seasons will be open this year. I picked up a jar of apple butter and decided to make a new fall cookie recipe – Apple Butter Oatmeal Cookies.

These cookies are packed with apple flavor from the apple butter and apple pie spice. I added old-fashioned oatmeal to make them a bit healthier, but I still used a simple cream cheese for a few cookies. This recipe makes a soft, apple-spiced cookie.
