She had fun!
We had fun!
and, for under $15, we came home with enough apples to make into 2 jars of apple butter, 2 full-sized and 4 hand-sized pies, and juice, with enough left over for some serious snacking.
What are some other mofo-ers doing with apples this month? Head over to my apple round-up over on VeganMoFo Headquarters for a sampling.

I am deeply envious of your apple picking possibilities. My area is too hot for either apples or berries.
I can only imagine how good your super fresh apples are.
oh man, our apple tree is having a CRAZY BIG crop this year - so many apples. They are a bit late fruiting, but soon I"ll be making pies and apple sauce 'til the cows come home. Moooo!
Wow that's a whole lot of apples, next time I come to Syracuse we have to go fruit picking!
apples! my favorite. I'm dying to go pick my own, lack of car be damned.
Can you share your apple butter recipe?
Kristi- I didn't use a particular recipe, I just peeled and cut up enough apples to mostly fill up my crock pot, added a bunch of sugar and spices (cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice), and let it cook on high in the slow cooker for a few hours and then on low for about 20 hours more. The house smelled great! You can decide how long to cook the butter based on how thick/concentrated you want it.
I am dying to go apple picking!
