Putting up apples

I started putting up the first of our 40 lbs of apples today with my helper :) I'll probably do two batches in the dehydrator--three if Larry will let me!! I love dried apples!! :) Applesauce is next on the agenda. This year, I think I am going to try apple butter with a "recipe" a friend gave me that uses the apple peels and cores from the apples. Can't hurt to try it out! I love my apple corer/peeler! I bought it from Amazon when I was first married, and made apple "slinkies" for my 6-year old Cindy and my 4-year old Lance. It is still working well!! (although somewhere along the way I lost the red handle cover...)

Miss Holly loves to peel and core the apples, and eat the "spaghetti"!
