One of the joys of autumn is driving to the local orchard and stocking up on apples for the next three seasons. The storefront smells delightful, and the selection of apples is quite varied (my favorite type being Jonagold).
A few weeks ago we peeled, cored, sliced, and froze over one hundred pounds of this crisp, juicy fruit. We hope to preserve more in a couple weeks, if the orchard still has enough.
We’ve already made cobblers from some of the apples. Delicious!
Beautiful photo, Emily Rose! Recently I made a large pan of apple crisp, and paired with a scoop of ice cream it tastes absolutely delicious. =)
It sounds like you have been hard at work to preserve so many apples! I love how you said…”IF the orchard has enough.” =) Thanks for the encouragement to be productive!
Blessings,

Yes, apples, apples everywhere!

Our grandma’s friend has quite a few apple trees and so we are blessed to receive *quite* a few bags of apples and we picked pears with some other friends in their neighborhood, so we’ve been giving, baking and freezing lots of fruit. =) Thanks for sharing about your diligent efforts!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
P.S. We really love your apple crisp recipe-yum. =)
Makes me miss the Indiana apple orchards :)
See you in a couple days!

Can I visit you? I would like to learn this stuff. I live in the suburbs. Not that I don’t love my home, but I wanna visit!
Beautiful!!! <3<3<3
Gorgeous!
Oh how I wish I lived near an orchard!
And had space for that much apples! Amazing!
BEAUTIFUL Picture! We made applesauce yesterday and today :)
What camera do you use?
I love the photo! It shows how true it is that autumn paints nature with the colours of a godly woman’s soul :)
Oh, and by the way, my favorite apples are fresh honeycrisp apples (yummy).

Love the photo! Jonagolds are really good, but my family’s personal favorite is probably Cortland (we used to get them fresh in NY).
Oh those apples are so RED! Yesterday my mom canned pumpkin for pumpkin pies and muffins and whatever has pumpkin.
I so wish apples grew here! There is a difference in store bought and those picked fresh from the tree! Enjoy your harvest!
Hello there! Just found your website and its just darling! Am subscribing now and look forward to more good stuff from you. God Bless!
