Apples, Apples, Everywhere...

We took advantage of the Columbus Day holiday (Thank you Federal Government!) and the great weather that accompanied it by going apple picking with our friends Melinda and Dave. We weren't just picking apples though, we were picking them with a purpose...Applesauce! Although we ended up picking way more than we needed for applesauce as evidenced by the picture of Megan holding our apples below!

After selecting the finest apples Larriland Farm had to offer we went to Melinda's place where she taught us how to make delicious applesauce.

First came the peeling and slicing...

Then the cooking of the apples...

Finally the canning.

And voila...applesauce!

As I mentioned earlier we picked way more apples than we needed for applesauce so just yesterday, Megan got a recipe for apple crisp from her best friend Jeanette! So we used up some of our apple stock on THE best apple crisp I've ever had!
