dealing with apples


There are apples everywhere this time of year, and everybody likes to give us a bag of apples to carry home!  In this case I was more interested in the basket than the apples!
So when you have apples you can't just let them sit around and get old, but I'm hard pressed to eat even one a day sometimes...I just don't have that much time to sit around and chew, so what to do?  We did press 8 liters of apple juice here:

We want to dry them and make apple chips or apple flakes?  This is just half that we have sliced, should take a few days to dry them on a low flame, then if we're lucky someone will give us some more, because this is fun! :)

Today I ate a Very Tangy Apple, in fact, it was downright tart! Made me make funny faces! It was off of someone's tree...they swore it was ripe...I think I've been had. ! But autumn is great because then we can eat apples. ;-)
