I have a press coming so I can make cider.

We did that one year. I found a recipe in a winemaking book so we made a batch of the most delicious sparkling hard cider. My uncle has a press and rigged a washing machine motor to the grinder and boy howdy was that nice!

I found a recipe for crabapple wine so I was picking crabapples this morning.

We have not had an outage in years, though.

Wow, we have a few every year! I think we've had 4 or 5 already this year. We bought a generator years ago, and it has saved a lot of food in the fridge and freezer, that's for sure.

You can also dry them to make apple chips.

I love those. Honeycrisp are great (but expensive to buy), and so are Empire, with their tangy taste.

The Honey crisp is not spendy here but East of the mountain here they developed it .. Pare it with Granny Smith make a great pie..

I have a ton of apples that keep yelling at me. I was thinking of freezing some for pie, and maybe baking a pie or a crisp or a crumble. In past years I’ve made applesauce but we just don’t eat it up fast enough.

I love applesauce and peanut butter on toasted raisin bread topped with a sliced banana and sprinkled with cinnamon for breakfast ... Not hungry again till afternoon.

We used to have them quite often! About two years ago our electric co-op came through and put in all new lines and high lines as well. The only time we have lost power since then was in an electric storm when lightning struck a pole and took the whole top third of it off! It sounded like it struck right outside the house, but it was about a quarter mile away. Scary, sure made everybody jump!
