Enjoying the apple harvest

Apple harvest is our favorite time of year. Not only do we ferment several gallons of unpasteurized apple juice from local orchards into cider to drink in the winter, there are all sorts of deals on bulk apples at Detroit’s Eastern Market. This Saturday we purchased a mixed bushel of Granny Smith and Northern Spy for $5 and got the dehydrator cranking.

Wash them good. We like tart apples for drying.

Slice them thick and sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon.

Store them with the rest of your Michigan harvest. They make a fantastic and healthy snack.

You meant to say "my wife braved the elbows and rolling carts on a Saturday morning to gather the harvest"- right?

The credit is yours!

That's the beauty of digital cameras. You can take two dozen pics of the same subject and usually at least one turns out really good.
