As we enter fall that means fall treats come out. My all time favorite fall treat is baked stuffed apples. I made stuffed apples tonight, I stuffed my apples with pecans. There are many more things you can put in the apples such as ice cream, other nut, granola, and many more.
Here is what I put in the apples and how I did them:
- candied pecans
I candied them with maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, grapefruit juice, and a little bit of thyme.
To cook the apples I hallowed them out leaving some apple left. Then I stuffed the pecans in the apples till pecans spilled out. Then a sprinkle of brown sugar and in too the oven. I cooked them for about 25 minutes until the apple was soft. Eat them when they're fresh out of the oven, it tastes better that way.
When I cook from my mind I don't measure. I just kinda put some together till I'm happy with it.
What's your favorite fall treat?

5K Running Dead
After mom told me about the 5K zombie run I knew I had to do it. I went with Mom, Aidan, my friend from school and her brother. All of us had never done a run like this so we were all excited and nervous.
How the run works and the rules are very simple. Each person got a belt with two flags, those were your "lives". As you ran the zombies would try to take the flags off the belt. If you lost both flags you were "dead". You weren't allowed to touch, hit, etc the zombies and they could only take your flags. There was a set course with obstacles and you would go though. Basic and easy.
When we got there people were in costumes and some zombies were going around. We signed in, got our shirts and flag belts, and got to the start line. There were zombies walking around and taking pictures with people. The make up was so cool! the zombies looked like like the ones in The Walking Dead. Our wave was counted down and we ran.
The first challenge was one zombie then two. Next was a tunnel. Three zombies were there. One on it, one shaking it, and one on the other side. I got through as fast as I could, then ran off. I lost one flag to the zombie guarding the exit of that tunnel. The next thing was broken down cars. There were zombies all over it. I jumped over the hood and run away from the zombies trying to get my flag. My friend and I Came up with the idea we would save our energy and walk when zombies weren't around and when we came across zombies we would sprint. We had to pass narrow paths with zombies trying to steal flags. There was a simple haystack to pass. Two zombies guarded the little stack. As I got to the top a zombie was climbing the stack. I jumped down missing the hay and the zombie straight to the ground. The next big challenge was the house. A massive horde of zombies were there waiting. On 3 my friend and I ran. The path was crawling with 10-20 zombies. I protected my last flag and ran. At one point I ran through two zombies hoping they weren't going to get my flag. I made it, breathing heavy but still alive. I waited for my friend to make it out and we walking to the next challenge. The zombies weren't done with us though. From behind a tarp jumped four zombies. I screamed and ran past them. The water station was after the house, I needed a drink. We set out again to what faced us. Another house, with a ton of flag thirsty zombies. I ran, dodging and weaving. I only had one flag and I didn't feel like dying. I got through it still with my last live. The color bombs and a couple zombies were next. Then the corn maze. I thought zombies would jump out, but no. I got a little lost but got out with one flag. After we got through the maze we were done.
It was so much fun! I screamed a lot. Ran and laughed. I got a dog tag that said survivor and a couple pictures with the zombies. Over all I had a really good time.
