Apples, Apples, Apples

I have three apple trees...

1. Red Delicious

2. Yellow Delicious

3. Granny Smith

My first husbands family were from Yakima WA

(it was the apple growing capital of the nation at the time)

my father-in-law would tell me that apple farmers would

never eat the skins on an apple.

You should always peel it off.

I have gathered MANY recipes for use of apples.

Here is one that the family really loves.

It is versatile and can be used as a basic in many recipes.

Apple Sauce

Here are the simple ingredients:

Sugar-Apples-Lemon juice-Cinnamon-Butter

Grate apples and add all the above ingredients

add sugar & cinnamon to taste.

Cook over a low heat covered (about 20-30 mins)

add a pad of butter when cooking is done.

Here is the cooked apple sauce, it's tart yet sweet.

I use this with:

1. Cooked oatmeal

2. apple cake filling

3. heat and serve with vanilla ice cream

Be Green and

compost your peels and lemon rind.
