Apples Apples Everywhere

Ok this is for all of my fall lovers out there. One thing that I can't get enough of is apples. Love'em...apple: sauce, cider, donuts, crisp, pie butter...the list is endless!anyway Dom and I went to Solebury farms Saturday to do our own skillfully picking! (if you need to find an orchard near you check this out http://www.pickyourown.org/PAeast.htm)

Here we are doing some work..haha

And Dom...

After much success we were off to the market for apple cider donuts!

Once we got home we had apples that were massive and overwhelming. Well to put our apples to great use we decided to make our own apple sauce! Genius. All we used was a crock pot, 3 large apples and cinnamon (not measured..we just added it as we went on. Feel free to add the amount you want)

So we peeled the apples, sliced them up and threw them in a hot crock pot. Add cinnamon and put the lid on. Wait anxiously for about an hour and don't you dare lift the lid! The heat is needed to make the apples soft. To speed things up add a little water to your crock pot and the steam will help your apples turn a bit faster.

Once about an hour passes, open up the lid, take a deep breath in to enjoy the sweet aroma and stir. You will know if your apples made sauce by the consistency of it. Our apples were very soft, but we did let a few chunks stay whole in our sauce.

We enjoyed our apple sauce right away with dinner, but Dom surely recommends that you wait for your apple sauce to chill in the fridge. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This sweet treat is sure to please! Enjoy!
