Fall is definitely here. We have picked our first apples of the season and not because they were necessarily ready but because the sand hornets (huge ugly yellow bee) had started eating them. We don’t have a lot of apples this year and may not even have enough to do our annual cider press but there were about 30 good apples left on the tree so we decided to get them.
We peeled and sliced them pretty quickly and they’re a very dry apple which I thought would make good apple pies and fried pies.
I cooked them up and they’re beautiful. I didn’t have to press them through a sieve. I put them in airtight freezer containers and froze them for winter goodies. I kept out three cups for breakfast and my applesauce cake which I plan to make now. I’ll share the recipe soon!
Love apples…and anything you can fix with apples. YUMMM
