We have had some yummy apples from our apple tree this year. 2011 marks our first big apple harvest from our little Sweet Sixteen tree that we planted when Ella was a toddler. We've had apples other years, but nothing compared to this. The poor tree was so loaded that it looked like it was going to tip right over this summer. I hope we'll see the same number of apples next year. We've had to wait patiently to pick our apples as Sweet Sixteen are a later variety, but the wait was worth it. Now the apples are nice and sweet. Those who sampled them too early discovered them to be quite sour...except for Claranna. She seems fond of any type of apple.
So far we've had apple crisp, apple sauce and lots of apple snacking. I hope to bake a pie tomorrow!
