Last weekend EC and I went to a somewhat local orchard to pick apples. At $0.25 a pound, it was too good of a deal to resist. We may have, however, gone a little overboard in our picking. We ended up with 55 pounds of apples and a gallon of apple cider (which we pressed ourselves, I know, be impressed).
Right now I am sure you are thinking - 55 POUNDS OF APPLES, WHAT DOES ONE DO WITH SO MUCH APPLES? Thank you for asking, I will tell you. One cans 21 quarts of apple pie filling.
So now you are thinking, that is a lot of apple pie filling, Jenni, you will have to eat 1.75 pies a month if it is for a year supply. Well, HA, jokes on you! I have already given away two quarts of it, so I will only have to eat 1.58333333 pies a month. Except for the fact that we still had leftover apples, so I am also eating plain apples.
And apple turnovers, but that is a post for another day. For now, if anyone knows anyone who needs an apple pie, let me know, and maybe I can help you out.

Oh wowzers. We bought three bags of apples last week at an apple festival and thought we were crazy...it's just soo much to peel!!
I'm glad you canned it though -- I'm just going to make pies and freeze them fast!
Hi by the way -- I've been lurking on your blog, mouth watering for a few weeks now and had to say hi! You are such a good cook!
