Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Apple Pie Muffins

All the taste of an apple pie in a little piece of bread!! These little guys are so simple to throw together. They bake up a little flat on top but that sure doesn't detract from the flavor! The cinnamon topping makes it a little extra fun, too! Yummy for breakfast...to throw in a lunch or to have as a snack!
