I thought it would be fun to make some applesauce this fall, and my mom was nice enough to loan me her stuff! It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Well, I mainly have horrible memories of having to crank the strainer for hours on end as a child as my parents made dozens and dozens of bottles . . .
But anyway, Collin was helpful too, and I only did 1 box of apples which gave me 10 jars. Not too bad--I saved a dozen for something else (but half of them got eaten by someone mysterious before I could use them!! grr.) so I probably could have gotten a little more.
So here is some of my work: ta da!
And the original plan was to make yummy, cute caramel apples for my friends . . . but well after so many apples got eaten and I tried an experiment with a caramel apple, I realized they are NOT good caramel apple-apples. So, back up plan . . . my first attempt at apple pie! They look good, I gave one away and have yet to try it myself! Collin insisted he will eat most of it (not really too worried about that) so it won't matter if I like it or not, I guess. :) I was impressed with myself for my first try ever:

Check you out Miss Suzie Homemaker! That's awesome!
Next year let's try and do this together. I bought me a apple peeler/corer/slicer to make apple pie filling, so maybe we could do a little of both!
