An Apple (or Two) a Day

It was Apple Week at our house!  We were blessed with some friends' abundance of apples.  We enjoyed fresh apples, an apple pie, two batches of crock pot applesauce, and an apple cake.  My first experiment with hot water bath canning apple pie filling was a success, although I only tried four pints.  I also baked an apple crisp and stuck it in the freezer for later. 
Even with all of that apple baking, I still had enough left to fill this basket.  My intention is to make one final batch of crock pot applesauce, but other things have to get done, too, so they are still waiting for me!
It was only a matter of time before our curious little turtle found them.  While I was working at the table this morning, Rachel was behind me eating her first apple "like a big girl" as Teresa says. 
See all of those bites out of the apple she's holding?  Yep.  She did that all by herself with her 8 chompers!
