Ever played the card game, Apples to Apples? This week we played our own version: Apples to apples to more and more and more apples. The game is ongoing, seeing as we are chopping away at 750 lbs of Golden Supreme, Jonathon, and Golden Delicious as we speak, but we have taken significant strides; last week we processed 500 lbs of apples into 362 lbs of product.

What could we possibly be doing with so many apples? Two things: baked apples and applesauce. The former is made by slicing raw apples and tossing them with a sugar n’ spice blend, and the latter is made with a subtle zing of zested lemon.

| Soon to be applesauce! |
First, however, comes the manual labor. The apples for baking are simply cut into sixths, whereas the apples for sauce are cored, peeled, then sliced. After 500+ lbs of apples, we now consider ourselves professional corers, peelers, and slicers. We are also quite sticky.

Highly structured taste tests (everyone nearby grabs a spoon and nods in approval) have bolstered our confidence in preparing apples for the masses. Our product is nutritious, tasty, and kid-friendly. Motts has nothing on us.
