I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend! Now that September is well underway, you should all be prepared for me to be a little too excited about the approaching change in seasons. One of my favorite ways to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall is by grabbing a slice or two of apple pie from one of the many fine bakeries we have here in Columbus. If you don't have a go-to pie place, we've got a few suggestions.
