After realizing that we (myself and a very good friend of mine) would not be able to pick our own apples this year, we went to the Lawrence Farmers Market and bought a bushel of apples from a very nice man who happens to live just down the road from us. He struck me a deal and Clint carried our 40-45 lbs of apples to the Tahoe and off we went to get to work.
It took us (myself, Amy, my mom, and occasionally little helpers) approximately 2 hours to get all of the apples peeled, cored and sliced.
Here is part of the mess that we made:
After adding a little sugar and cooking the apples on very low heat for several hours we were able to mash into a sauce easily with a potato masher. In the end we got 40 cups of applesauce, 16 cups of sliced apples to use for apple pie, and we each kept a dozen or so apples to eat fresh.
