My Mom got wind of a wonderful deal on apple last week. An apple grower had a bumper crop last fall and still had about 15,000 (yes that is thousand!) apples left to sell. So we were able to buy them for $0.40 a pound. Yesterday (since I live the closest) I went and picked up 160 pounds of apples for me, my Mom and sisters. They were all in huge bins, and the buyers had to box them, it was freezing cold and snowing, I don’t think I warmed up all day after that! However I had a nice time, the owner of the little shop where I picked them up at was very nice and so were the other ladies who were boxing their apples.
So now, what do I do with 60 pounds of apples? I am thinking maybe apple sauce or sliced apples in syrup.
Although for breakfast those apples told me very loudly that they wanted to be apple crisp.
I thought I would oblige them.
And while I won’t win any awards for feeding my children a healthy breakfast this morning, I might win the award for the “Best Mom Ever!”
Seriously, who can resist hot apple crisp with fresh cream?
That sounds like the perfect breakfast for a cold morning.
Apples do not grow that well here so we have no big apple growers just the faithful home growers that keep all their bounty ;)So you are a lucky duck with those apple.
Think of me as you process them…LOL

I want to come to YOUR house for breakfast!!! Apple crisp is one of my all time favorites. Yum!!!
Looks yummy! If you make any applesauce please share your recipe. I've been craving homemade applesauce, but don't have a recipe.
I love hearing about all your adventures in homemaking. You are so amazing.
I love bottled apple pie filling, apple butter, and apple sauce made with a victorio strainer.
I don't have a victorio (it's on my list) but give me a shout if you need to borrow any other equipment like a crock pot or whatever.
I'm a little bit jealous!
