I love fall! The colors, the leaves burning and the smell of them drying. We went camping in October and the woods were beautiful. I love sleeping with the window open in the fall and squeezing my cold pillow all night. I love fall apples, pears, grapes, squash, pumpkins. I love making soups and one pot meals. Roasting vegetables and going to the farmers markets. I love taking pictures of fall.
We got our apples from Shipshewanna this year. Apples in Michigan were just too expensive.
I have made three apple pie, two pumpkin pies, and apple sauce twice now. Here is how I do it.
 |
| WASH YOUR APPLES |
 |
| IF YOU HAVE A FOOD MILL.......NO NEED TO PEEL OR REMOVE THE CORE, JUST CUT IN HALF |
 |
| OOPS....HERE'S SOME APPLES PIES GOING IN THE OVEN |
 |
| COOK YOUR APPLE HALVES IN WATER UNTIL THEY ARE SOFT. REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A FOOD MILL, THERE IS NO NEED TO PEEL OR CORE THEM. |
 |
| CHOOSE YOUR FOOD MILL SIZE....SMALL FOR SUPER CREAMY BABY FOOD APPLE SAUCE. MEDIUM FOR REGULAR APPLE SAUCE (THIS IS THE ONE I USED) LARGER HOLES FOR A CHUNKY APPLE SAUCE BUT THE SEED MIGHT GET THROUGH. |
 |
| FOOD MILL, STRAIN COOKED APPLES AND PUT THEM HOT INTO THE FOOD GRINDER. |
 |
| GRIND APPLES INTO PAN. THROW AWAY THE SKINS |
 |
| IT LOOKS SO GOOD |
 |
| ADD CINNAMON AND SUGAR |
 |
| PLACE INTO CANNING JARS, LET IT COOL. |
 |
| COVER JARS AND FREEZE. |
 |
| HERE IS MY PIE. IT HAS A HOMEMADE CRUST AND A GRANOLA, BROWN SUGAR TOPPING. |
 |
| IT GOES FAST!! |
