*Homemade Applesauce*
really really yummy, especially right after you make it and it’s still warm
“Here are bowls of oatmeal, with whole pints of cream, large dishes of baked apples, the big blue platter full of sizzling ham, with many eggs disposed upon it; here are hot cakes piled by the tens and dozens, with melting butter and brown sugar between them, and hashed brown potatoes, Graham bread and white bread, fresh butter, honey, jam, milk and the steaming pot of coffee. Here are doughnuts or gingerbread to accompany the coffee cups’ second filling, and then-for he was a boy in New England-my father likes just one medium-size wedge of apple pie to top off the meal and finish the foundation for a good day’s work.” Rose Wilder Lane
“‘An apple is a great thing. There are so many different kinds of apples, Johnny, and so many ways to use them. You can eat apples right off the tree. Or you can make them into apple pies and apple cakes, and apple butter and apple sauce-and apple cider! You can roast apples, bake apples, and boil apples,’ said Mr. Crawford. He picked an apple off one of the trees and took a bite. The juice rolled down his chin.” From Johnny Appleseed

Good to be Home 
That Apple Walnut Cake recipe looks yummy — I’m going to have to try that. Your quote refers to Mr. Crawford — that was my maiden name! I love your pictures you post — great job!
Yum! I’m going to try the applesauce.

Happy belated birthday to your beautiful son, David. I really enjoyed that post!! Boys are wonderful and he is a beautiful little boy with such a sparkle in his eyes…..you can tell he is just full of life!

Ahhhh . . . apples in the fall. I miss getting the bushels of Mac’s from the orchards. The recipes look delicious – I definitely want to try the apple walnut cake recipe. Thanks!
I bought a 1/2 bushel of apples on Tuesday. The girls are just waiting for me to make that Apple cake – it is Molly’s favorite! We also were making apple crisp and apple pie, when our own apples were ripe a couple few months ago. Plus now my grapes are ready – we made grape jam last week (I was too impatient and should have waited a few more days for them to get riper) So now I have to make concord grape pie (my father-in-law intoducedtold me about it) I will have to post my recipe.
Enjoy the apples!

thank you for the recipe’s. I’ve written them down and plan on going to frog pond and getting a bushel and going to work–more like fun!!
soo fitting! So inspiring! I especially loved the second pic, the “antiquated” pic of apples! Great tribute to the season and I LOVED the quote from Johnny Appleseed. I picked up my little 5 year old (I babysit her) from preschool and she greeted me with, “Happy Johnny Appleseed day, Janet” awwww!
