I had 35 lbs that I processed last weekend- I have no idea what you are going to do with all of those. I made 11 pints of applesauce and then 20 1/2 pints of apple jam from the peels.

Enjoy your harvest.annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-65665048318713332862009-10-13T15:59:56.060-05:002009-10-13T15:59:56.060-05:00Plenty of applesauce - I make plain because I can always add whatever amendments when I serve it. I use it for applesauce muffins. Someone&#39;s apple cake sounded like a great idea. I started freezing already mixed pie fillings last year. I take them out of the freezer in the morning, pop them into a crust and bake in the afternoon so the house smelss all apple-cinnamon-y when my family comes home.margothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664272411781317350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-67529453275986471912009-10-13T15:48:52.141-05:002009-10-13T15:48:52.141-05:00I LOVE going to the apple orchard! I have gone twice this year--but not quite as far away as you went! Suggestions? Apple sauce, apple butter (SO good!), dried apples (you have a dehydrator, right?), apple pie, baked apples, and, my favorite--eating them out of hand! Yum :-)<br /><br />CourtneyCourtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02368500891285543351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-14144014247006661922009-10-13T13:28:50.422-05:002009-10-13T13:28:50.422-05:00Try some chicken with a balsamic apple reduction!

I love apples (or couldn&#39;t you tell?)PamChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03971089110547194844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-27709853447477885872009-10-13T09:50:36.258-05:002009-10-13T09:50:36.258-05:00Great pictures man...Retete de slabithttp://www.retete-slabit.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-87024445119892000292009-10-12T22:39:06.989-05:002009-10-12T22:39:06.989-05:00I suggest drying them for some yummy dried apples and making some homemade applesauce with interesting adaptations - strawberry, cherry, cinnamon and maybe blueberry?Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00412931813375123993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-79386149834820170942009-10-12T22:00:05.065-05:002009-10-12T22:00:05.065-05:00Bauer&#39;s! That&#39;s in LaCrescent, MN! My mom and her family are from there, and my aunt and cousin still live there. Every fall, my mom gets apples there to make my birthday pie (I&#39;ve never been a huge fan of cake). It&#39;s the best I&#39;ve ever had, hands-down. I&#39;m trying to learn her secret to pass down to my own family.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06302965295645677613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-30513453251964446662009-10-12T21:56:03.749-05:002009-10-12T21:56:03.749-05:00I really enjoyed the pictures.
