Title: Apples Post by: Mel on October 31, 2008, 10:08AM Ok, I have not had an apple for 2 yrs. See ever since I started picking my own every fall at a Fruit farm, I don't touch store bought.
Well back in April 2007, in fact during the time CW was in Columbus, we had a late cold snap, with heavy snow, frost etc, after a week of 70 degree weather, then another cold snap in May, thus it pretty much damaged any crops for that year. So last week FINALLY, the apples I love to pick were ready!! It was pouring down rain, but I didn't care, I just picked faster lol. so now I have 20# of apples, well less now, since I been eating them. So...if An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away....what does 3 to 4 apples a day do... Don't answer that!! ;D ;D Title: Re: Apples Post by: zankoku on October 31, 2008, 10:40AM make applesauce or cider
Title: Re: Apples Post by: Sorgi on October 31, 2008, 11:17AM All I have to do is travel a few miles up US 50 to the Apple Hill area. I think every variation on apple-anything has been done.
I have to pass through that area every weekend for work, during harvest time I have to pass through early because everyone from the valley is coming up for Apples and Apple products. Bumper to bumper traffic for miles, all for apples. Title: Re: Apples Post by: Mike on October 31, 2008, 11:33AM Our area in Missouri had a great apple crop this year and friends have been giving me bags and bags of apples.
Since I can't eat them fast enough, I peeled and sliced them all, mixed in some cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and cloves, then froze them. Whenever I want some desert, I just pull a bag out of the freezer, heat it in the microwave and put a little ice cream on top. It's delicious...! :) Title: Re: Apples Post by: tiburongirl on October 31, 2008, 11:58AM Oh how I wish I could have apples! I have a food allergy to fresh apples and pears. :'( I can eat applesauce and apple pie, but no fresh fruit. I once asked my doctor if I took a benedryl before eatting one whether it would make a difference and he didn't think so.
Title: Re: Apples Post by: Mel on October 31, 2008, 12:04PM The orchard I go to starts selling the beginning of Sept, each weekend is a diff apple that is available for self-picking. My fav, which use to be Winesap, is now GoldRush, and both are available only on the last 2 weekends of Oct.
As for making applesauce...no way...I love crunching on these apples!! Believe me that 20# will be gone in about another 2 weeks. Title: Re: Apples Post by: zankoku on October 31, 2008, 12:11PM CIDER, Mel, CIDER!!!!
Title: Re: Apples Post by: Mel on October 31, 2008, 01:22PM I am not wasting a Good apple to squeeze the life out of it!!
Think very tart and slightly sweet, thats a Gold Rush. Nope...I will keep them pure...and whole, til I EAT them!! Title: Re: Apples Post by: zankoku on October 31, 2008, 01:39PM But Cider will make you tipsy. Oh yeah CW does taht to you also.<g>

Title: Re: Apples Post by: willow-jeeves on October 31, 2008, 04:48PM so now I have 20# of apples, well less now, since I been eating them. So...if An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away....what does 3 to 4 apples a day do... Don't answer that!! ;D ;D First of all...YUM...freshly picked apples are the best! Second...(Sorry Mel, I can't resist.) It's a bird, It's a plane, no, it's SUPERMEL!! :) Title: Re: Apples Post by: Jim M. on October 31, 2008, 04:55PM First of all...YUM...freshly picked apples are the best! Along with those in a properly prepared apple pie!Title: Re: Apples Post by: Mel on October 31, 2008, 05:52PM Well I have had 3 apples today, one for breakfast, and 2 for lunch. Now it's almost 8pm and I am in the mood for another one ;D
I am making up for 2 yrs without any... I can never ever have a store bought Red Delicious after having one freshly picked. They do NOT taste the same. Way better right off the tree, both Red and Golden. That is what I love about the fruit farm I go to. They have so many varieties. Title: Re: Apples Post by: Cash on October 31, 2008, 07:03PM First of all...YUM...freshly picked apples are the best! Along with those in a properly prepared apple pie!Title: Re: Apples Post by: Emily! on October 31, 2008, 07:35PM Mmmmm I love apples. I've never picked them before. I've only ever eaten store bought apples, but I bet they're so good fresh off the tree. ;D
We pick mangos, oranges, key limes and avocados down here, but no apples. :( Title: Re: Apples Post by: Angie on October 31, 2008, 10:46PM Best thing you can eat - that saying is ABSOLUTELY true! Low in calories, keeps you regular, keeps the doctor away, and tastes delicious! What more could you want? ;D
Title: Re: Apples Post by: Jim M. on October 23, 2018, 04:07PM I tried Honeycrisp apples the other day. Story on tv said they were very good. I like them. Then I bought a Honeycrisp apple pie. It was great. ;)
