Adventures in Making Apple Sauce

We have an apple tree. Up until this year, we thought we had a crab apple tree. It only produced tiny little apples, and they were usually bug infested. This year it's different. We are getting more regular-sized apples, many are in great shape, and there are so many that the tree branches are starting to break. So what did we do? We made apple sauce! The kids wanted to get in on the action. Can't let mom have all the fun.

Inspecting to make sure nothing else got to it first (these are seriously organic apples, folks!)

She also must make sure nothing's in there
