Apples are synonymous with the Fall season. We head for the hills to our apple farms and get all excited about nature's bounty set before us in bushels. And, without thinking, we start grabbing all sorts of different kinds of apples to take home. When we get home our best laid intentions come to a screeching halt when we look at our pile and think, "Now what the McIntosh am I going to do with all these apples?" The apple picking day on the farm was a cherished memory but now it's time to wake ourselves from those blissful moments ingrained in our brains, wipe off the apple fritter glaze from our lips, and get to work.

Thanks for reminding, I was going to get to that. Rarely, other than the beginning of Autumn, do I have bushels of fresh apples to make the homemade applesauce. Sooo, I do buy the store bought - shhh! But make sure you buy the chunky kind - I buy Mott's Natural Chunky Applesauce when I don't use the homemade. Thanks for bringing that up!!
