VeganMoFo #16: Figgy Apple Hand Pies


And just like that, the weekend's over! It was a busy one. Yesterday was spent in Estacada at Out to Pasture Sanctuary's work day. It was my first, but certainly not last, time there. We arrived a little early so we could get a tour and meet the animals, and then we got to work on pulling nails out of some old lumber so it could be burned without the chance of a horse, llama, or donkey stepping on a nail. The pile of wood we were working on was in the goat pen, so Nellie (one of the goats) kept us company and tried to help. I love that place and all the sweet animals. The caretakers there are who I want to be when I grow up.

Today involved taking advantage of the beautiful weather to get some things done outside. For example, cutting a pile of tree limbs into wood stove size pieces.

Busy weekends need calm finales, so tonight I used figs and apples right from our yard to bake figgy apple hand pies. They're so good! The recipe's from Vegan Pie in the Sky (as usual). They're like warm, appley fig newtons. I was skeptical about being able to eat them with your bare hands, but it works. Look, Ma, no fork!
