Apples

Apple season is just beginning.

The backyard tree.

The frontyard tree. This is the one I like to call "The Giving Tree" because some of its branches reach all the way down to the ground just like the drawings in the book.


  
 Last year we made lots of applesauce.  I wonder if we'll go that route this year? Any ideas?

  1. I vote for hot apple pie with vanilla icecream! I bet Mom and Dad are happy to see that the trees are doing so well. Darlene, your photography is the "apple of my eye!" Keep up the great work! Love, Mart

  2. Those apples look wonderful! I agree with Martha - apple pies would sell great this fall at the C & W and I bet you could "jack up the prices". Yum, Yum!

  4. I say applesauce again. I think Susan has some sort of apple pureer that purees the skin and all and gives the sauce a pinkish color. I remember it tasting good!

  5. Yes Susan and Cedric make great applesauce. What about cider? What about apple butter?

  6. And not for selling, but what about baked apples? Mom used to have some special dishes for that, I wonder where they went?

  7. There's always apple crisp, and dried apple dolls. (The dolls sounds like a fun art project, Darlene!!)
    Hey, that red stick they are using to shake down the apples was actually a pole Mom bought me once to help put up Christmas lights on a spruce tree at my old house, but it works great for apples!
