When life gives you a bushel of apples, make apple sauce.My friend, Katie, has several trees. She hates pesticides, so doesn't spray.
It means her organically grown apples have this lovely old world patina on the outside, and
are riddled with worm tunnels on this inside.
Fortunately the apples are firm enough to run through my apple-corer-peeler-slicer, so cleaning them up is easier than I thought it would be.
You can get one of these from Pampered Chef or William Sonoma.
Mine? I got it from my local thrift store for $1.00 and it has been the best investment!
My house is smelling quite heavenly about now with a pot of apples simmering on the stove.
A taste test to adjust the flavor and now I'm off to hunt up some canning jars in the basement.
Can you feel autumn coming?
