My husband and I went to a local apple farm yesterday and picked a peck of apples (haha, yeah, it makes me laugh too). For only $9, we got about 15 pounds of fresh, local, unwaxed apples.
I'm not sure what to do with them all! I have been peeling and cutting all morning and have a pot of applesauce on the stove and a dehydrator full of apple slices. My fruit bowl is already overflowing with apples. Time to look up more recipes.
If I get a chance, and can find my camera, I'll post some pictures later. Right now though, I'm just glad to feel normal and productive again.
Applesauce
Peel and slice approximately 3-5 pounds of apples. Dip in lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. Put in a pot on the stove with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, then transfer to a mixing bowl and beat until desired consistency. Add cinnamon as desired.
(Not much of a recipe, I know, but that's how I do it)
That sounds great!. Never knew apples could be used in so much ways. And to be honest you inspired me. Please post some snaps.
ReplyDeleteI might try making some kind of fruit jam :)

You can freeze the applesauce. Make a pie! Or applesauce cookies, etc.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are exploring the new place!
Peel, core, slice, freeze in amounts enough for one pie. When it comes pie-making time, pull a bag out out, thaw or mostly thaw), season, and bake. I have 17 bags of pie apples in my freezer!
