Fall baking: gingerbread apple butter cookies. I used freshly ground einkorn flour, home-made gingerbread spice, and home-made pear-apple jam that I pureed into a butter. They are chewy and taste like an autumn hug. 🍪🍂🍪

Pumpkins oranging themselves in the Autumn fields, peeking out of dry grass, waiting to be taken home to the kitchen table or front stoop. 🎃🍂🎃
