I'm jealous of your apples though... mine are FULL of bugs and such, so it's a real project to clean them up first.<BR/><BR/>Last year I also made canned apple pie filling, which was fun (and an easy way to bust out a pie later on in the year)<BR/><BR/>:)Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001248771726229521.post-85911016524055672722008-09-12T17:36:00.000-07:002008-09-12T17:36:00.000-07:00You are so lucky to have trees next door, be nice ...You are so lucky to have trees next door, be nice to this neighbor even if he cut down your blackberry vines! Applesauce absolutely rules- I just made some with local Summer Rambos from the fruit stand (maybe 4 pounds). Peeled (with a vegetable peeler, as Nicole does), cored, sliced with the apple slicer, dumped in the crockpot with 4 Tbs. brown sugar and a teaspoon of apple pie spice. They were falling apart and fabulous in just a couple of hours. And they are all gone now, time to get more apples!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589461088079201199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001248771726229521.post-88930498986102989052008-08-29T06:58:00.000-07:002008-08-29T06:58:00.000-07:00You can always use a vegetable peeler to peel the ...You can always use a vegetable peeler to peel the apples instead of a knife!

The Asian pears are showing up, too. <BR/><BR/>I always use my pressure cooker to make applesauce because it's so easy to do. I make it even easier because I cook the apples in chunks with the skin and then put it through the food mill -- no peeling. <BR/><BR/>But if you are going to do that, have you tried using an apple peeler, corer for the fruit? Works wonders.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting.The Veggie Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737232469195650990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001248771726229521.post-57678771918036173432008-08-22T13:26:00.000-07:002008-08-22T13:26:00.000-07:00Aww, poor blackberries!

And here some of us yearn for a nearby source of fresh organic fruit ripe for the picking. I'm glad you were able to pick so many apples though.<BR/><BR/>Apple pie sounds heavenly.
