Apple pie meets breakfast bake in this delicious Apple Breakfast Bake, loaded with dried cranberries and pecans and drizzled with warm maple syrup.

Well, we did it! We finally made it to the orchard to pick apples yesterday…..and not a moment too soon. The orchards around here are starting to get picked clean, and some of them are already closed for the season. Who knew pick-your-own apples were such a hot commodity??

Luckily, a few phone calls was all it took to avert apple picking disaster, and just like that, we were back in business. Thank goodness….because the girls were SO excited about it and ended up having the best time they’ve ever had picking apples! They were climbing ladders and running through the rows of trees and searching for the best apples…..and, of course, sampling plenty of them along the way!

We ended up coming home with $30 worth of apples…..a big bag and a small bag, both filled to the brim and overflowing. Enough apples that I might wonder what to do with all of them…..if I didn’t have the kids I have, that is. They are apple LOVERS, and can easily eat 2-3 apples a day….EACH! But. Before they gobble them all up, this Apple Breakfast Bake is on my must-make list. It’s sweet and satisfying and full of delicious apple flavor, and with the addition of dried cranberries and pecans, it really is the perfect dish for fall!

    Made this today for a brunch and it was a hit! I think I would add more cranberries/pecans next time as I really love them. Will make this again. Thanks!
