Apple Season!

Apparently, the odd weather this year has produced a bumper crop of apples - which means the prices are quite good.  Our grocery store had them for 54¢ a pound the past few weeks.  I've had a break from canning recently, so I decided to explode my kitchen yet again for the noble and very worthwhile cause of apple pie filling.  I think Chris will be pretty happy!

I really need to do some applesauce!  I calculated recently that we use about 5 pounds of applesauce per week in this house!
