It's that time of the year to hit the apple orchards and take advantage of the wonderful bounty of apples.
The bowl above are apples my mother shared with me. While she didn't give me the name of these beauties, she told me they would make great pies, holding a firm shape.
Regardless of whether I know the name of this fruit, I look forward to making a pie, and am already planning my own trip to the local orchard so I may put up some apple butter and, my favorite, apple jelly.
Hint: When working with apples, if peeling several at once, mix a tablespoon of vinegar with a bowl of water and immerse the apple slices in this solution. It will keep the apple slices from oxidizing and turning brown.
