Over Labor Day weekend we decided to take a trip up to Bellewood Acres for some apple picking. We realized it was a few weeks early for our favorite Honeycrisps but the weather was so beautiful we couldn't resist getting out on the farm and letting the kids run wild.
Matt got to drive us all on a golf cart through the apple orchards to the right trees. I think we could have stopped there and the kids would have been happy. They got such a kick out of riding in a golf cart!
After some quick instructions from the employees on how and where to pick, we were off!
We picked about 22 pounds of apples. They were so huge it only took us about 4.5 minutes to fill our bags before heading back on the cart to drive through the fields again.
When we got home Matt had the fun task of peeling, cutting, coring and dicing every.single.apple. (so thankful for him!)
I then used my own modified version of the
Pioneer Woman's Homemade applesauce recipe.
It took me about 3 hours but in the end we had over 10 containers full of applesauce to last us throughout the year. And…it's amazing. Not to brag, but it's really the best applesauce I've ever eaten. Ever.
We finished the night with pork chops and applesauce for dinner….delish!
