What's Your Favorite Apple"

[GotGarlic]

Just went apple picking for the first time this season. The usual yellow apples we pick still needs a few more weeks, but the honeycrisp were ready, so we got a dozen of them.

Will go back in a few weeks to load up on the yellow apples, which make great cider ( an annual tradition of ours).

I grew up going apple picking every fall in Michigan, enjoying freshly pressed cider and apple cider doughnuts It's too warm here for apples to do well - we would have to drive about three hours northwest to the mountains. Last year I had such a craving for apple cider doughnuts I made my own, using a recipe for baked doughnuts. They were delicious

Fresh apple cider , to me, is the perfect way to welcome the fall, Just as tomatoes and basil say ' summer' to me.

And for a snack, I love freeze-dried apple slices. Not sure what kind of apples are used, but they are delicious

We have 65 qts of apple sauce + also pear sauce to add to that.
We don't have a freeze dryer but we have a dehydrator, so we'll be dehydrating apple slices once all the other things are done in the dehydrator. Those are a nice snack.
