Chicken with Apples and Honey, Sweet!

It feels like fall is here. The nights are cooler and the kids are back in school. I love this dish, roasted chicken with apples, and cinnamon, and honey. I love more that Ari and I made this meal together!

We were inspired by the Jewish New Year which is next week, and the tradition to celebrate with apples and honey for a sweet new year, but this is good anytime.
