OK, not really, but our apples are not the gorgeous ones you see piled up at orchards. Ours are the real deal, not sprayed, full of dings and dents and bugs.
But they taste pretty good. The boys and I cooked them up and fed them through the fruit mill to make applesauce.
I got about 6 quart bags full, then gave up and fed the rest to the ponies. The apples take a lot of prep because they are dirty and buggy and need to be cut in half and trimmed up before going into the pot.
But it was a chance for the boys and I to be outside together. Can't complain about that!

even if they don't look perfect it must be nice to have an apple tree! I have a pear tree and though they are not perfect they're free!
hope you are enjoying your weekend, xo

Hi pretty lady! That looks like good wholesome fun with your boys...love it. Also, you reminded me of another use for my newly acquired (vintage) Foley food mill. I admit, I have never even made applesauce before. ~Lili
