our two bags of apples, from our apple picking trip, finally got put to good use a few days ago. my friend andrea came over and we made 4 large mason jars of applesauce and 6 apple pies. whew! it was a lot of cooking but we had a blast.
boiled apples that are just dying to be turned into yummy applesauce!
mashing the apples using the most amazing contraption that we borrowed from a friend
(thanks amy!)
mmm... good!
reese joining in on all the fun
andrea rolling out her apple pie dough
all ready for the filling
and did i take a picture of our finished product? of course not! that would be way too silly and logical of me! actually, i was a little distracted by the cloud of smoke we had in our kitchen due to all the juice that dripped out of the pies while they were cooking. it was a huge sticky, burnt, yucky mess! but oh did those pies taste SO good!
andrea and i did the math and discovered that one large mason jar of applesauce cost us roughly $7 a piece. that's some expensive applesauce. so maybe this wasn't necessarily a money saving endeavor, but it sure was fun.
um...yum!
