Apple picking! Yep… we are soaking up everything that fall has to offer! It is a favorite time of year for our family, and we are taking advantage of all the beautiful fall colors, freshly harvest produce and spontaneous trips to the apple orchard.
I may have been a little over zealous and convinced my hubby we needed a bushel of apples. I did not realize QUITE how many apples were in a bushel, but we had a ton of fun picking them and made a memory that will last the rest of our lives… oh and did I mention we now have a bunch of homemade applesauce canned for the winter season? 🙂 You can read how to make this VERY simple crock-pot applesauce recipe HERE. Once you try making applesauce yourself, you will wonder why you ever bought the store stuff in the first place!
I love making my own applesauce – I’d never buy it! These pictures are so nice, I’d make a special way to frame them as a group and hang it on the wall!
Those pictures are beautiful, and make me super jealous! I need to go apple picking!
I love fall and apple picking! We need to head to the orchard! 🙂
You really should!! Making memories is the best part of life!! 🙂
This makes me miss home!
That sounds amazing! I have yet to find anywhere near here that I can take my family to enjoy apple picking but it looks like such a beautiful Fall tradition!
I hope you find some place! If not, you should come to Michigan!! hehe…
Have to try the applesauce recipe!
I love apple picking.
I love the photos, orange is such a nice color in fall! I try this recipe last year and planning to make another batch for this year,
Wow your pictures are really great. Looks like you had a lot of fun. I just heard that many of the So Cal apple orchards had slim pickings due to our drought.
What great pictures! I love apple picking and having apples stored up for the winter. I make some mason jars with apple pie filling for quick pies too! One of my favorite times of the year
Its that time of the year for the Apple festivals in Gays Mills Wi. Love to go apple picking ! I make apple butter and Apple pies!
OOH! I may need to try apple butter next year 🙂
