Apples: Before and After

My three apple trees are looking healthy, but two of the three did not produce much this year.  That's okay, because my Haralson tree made up for it.  My daughter and I peeled and sliced most of the apples and made cinnamon applesauce.  Delicious! We used the old-fashioned, sit-on-the-counter apple peeler, and I cooked the apples over low heat with a dash of water, lots of cinnamon, and some sugar to take away the tart edge.  I have visions of the many containers of sauce lasting for months (insert laugh here).  We call our sauce "apple pie without the crust."
