How Do You Like Them Apples!

It’s apple picking season here in New York and once again, we took the girls to our favorite apple orchard. The farm management got savvier this year and made the apple buckets a wee bit bigger and adjusted the price accordingly. But that’s ok, I’ll just make 16 pies. And strudel, and cider, and baked apples, and apple sauce, and apple fritters, and apple turnovers, and…

On the tree, not the groundAvi takes a bite

We had to walk quite a distance from the entrance to find some trees with apples still on the branches (rather than rotten or half eaten and lying on the ground).

Some people do the age progression photo album assembled from school pictures. We do the hatchback-pose-with-the-apple-bucket age progression album instead.

We’re so clever.

This looks like such fun! I'll have to get some apples tomorrow at the market! What a lovely family :-)

I searched the web for apple pie poems - this one is nice!

Apple slices sprinkled with sugar
with some cinnamon mixed in.
Apple slices in a high high mound
on the crust in a big pie tin.
Apple slices covered with a crumble
of quick cooking oats and butter,
with brown sugar and cinnamon,
to make a great pie taste even better.
Out of the oven it comes when it's done,
so bubbly and brown,
out of the oven it comes when it's done,
it's the best apple pie in town!
