Our Apple trees (three) produced extremely well this year1 The apples were nice and firm with no blemishes or bruises.
At present there are eight 9inch pies cooked and frozen sitting in the freezer.
The pies are excellent and we have sacrificed two already for testing.
There are also about a dozen apple crumbles in the freezer waiting for winter.
This is the critter that made apple processing bearable. I got it from Lee Valley Tools and it is the best invention since sliced bread. It peels, cores and slices in nothing flat!
However, I still have half a box of apples and have run out of desire to do any more ('till next year)
