Gingerbread and Applebutter

I'm baking gingerbread this evening and it's a lovely experience on so many levels.  It fills the house with a spicy good essence of autumn aroma and it tastes wonderful.  Even better, in a way it;s the culmination of the applebutter experience for this year. I love a warm piece of gingerbread split in half and slathered with applebutter.  Yummmm.  Try it.  I'll be serving it to a group of women coming to my house for a meeting tomorrow and I hope they enjoy it.
