Today was Ted’s and my annual Applesauce Day. We started with a bushel of golden delicious apples and made this.

Cooked applesauce cooling
While the applesauce cooled, I made our annual Applesauce Day reward: an apple pie. By the time it came out of the oven, we had the applesauce packed in freezer containers and the countertop looked like this.

Applesauce headed for the freezer and a pie for later today
The only things left to do are to have a piece of pie in a little while and to enjoy homemade chunky-style applesauce for another year.
