Applepaloosa

 My sister came down on Wednesday and we bought supplies to begin our two day applepaloosa fest. The previous owner of our house planted two apple trees in the backyard. In the past we have let someone else pick them and have them. This year we decided to make use of them ourselves. I spent a couple of days earlier this week researching apple recipes on Pintrest and Becky brought her canning gear she got from mom. Here are some photos of our process so far.

This is the most loaded down apple tree before we picked any apples. You can see one branch is about to break off because it is so heavy with apples.







Apple fritter bread.                            Apple toffee dip. Major yum!

Applesauce.

We called in apple peeling reinforcements last night about 8:30. Davin was such a trooper.

 Apple pie filling. This is our first batch. We are working on a 2nd
batch right now.


 The kids picking apples on day 2. So far we have picked and used three 5 gallon buckets of apples. There is still at least that many still on the tree.
