Apple pie meets egg 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?? To be honest, as much as I LOVE picking apples every year, I’m also really content to let Pick ‘n Save do the work for me……which is probably why this is NOT the first year we’ve waited so long that the branches are starting to go bare……!

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!

 This is one of those recipes I’ve been meaning to share with you forever, so when I found out #MyPicknSave was teaming up with #CollectiveBias with a focus on APPLES, I was thrilled! I headed to my favorite Pick ‘n Save, and the first thing I saw was exactly what I needed!! Lots and lots of apples!

I love trying out different varieties, both for eating and baking. Of course, we definitely have our favorites…..like Gala and Honeycrisp for eating, Cortland and Granny Smith for baking. The great thing about apples, though, is that they’re ALL good for anything….and they’re especially fun to mix and match. I can’t wait to get busy with all the apples we got from the orchard yesterday…..and I’m not kidding when I say I better hurry, before they’re all gone!
