Apples, apples every where! mmmmm …

I posted awhile back about my apple problem. We picked too many apples a few weeks ago so I asked for your apple tips!

I want to thank you for the comments with suggestions! @TessOrtego follows me on twitter and suggested to put 15 apples and a can of thawed frozen apple juice in a crock pot for 10 hours to make apple butter. I did this and burnt the heck out of it. So I tried again with 15 apples and 1 cup of water and stirred every hour or so for 9 hours. I added ground cloves and cinnamon then cooked it another hour. It was perfect that time. mmmm.

To continue to solve the apple problem, we have been dehydrating the heck out of apples. The older model dehydrated I inherited from my grandma still works! I can fit about 10 of the small Virginia apples in there at once. The problem is that my kids LOVE them. I seriously think they ate 9 apples yesterday between my 3 and almost 2 year old. That is A LOT of apples! aye. I have a hard time saying no to apples as snacks though! The dehydrating is running with apples in it for the third day in a row!

The next apple project on my list is apple bread. I begged @CutestKidEver to post her Apple Bread recipe last week. My goal is to bake some this week. Check out her Apple Bread recipe here.

I still need to make another apple cake because that is one of my all time favorite fall recipes. Do you have a favorite apple recipe? Leave it here in a comment and if I try it, I will post about it!
