How do you like those apples? :)

We all took a trip to Musgrave Orchards today!  It was lots of fun.  I have never been there before.  Such a cute little store; stocked with fresh produce, and handmade items.   A pretty little pond near by, and beautiful apple trees!  1M9C0984

We bought a large bag of Paula Red apples for baking, 3 huge peaches, a jar of pumpkin butter, and a gallon of fresh apple cider!  When we came home, I pulled out my trusty apple peeler/corer and went right to work!

First I got started on making apple butter in my crock pot.  The kitchen smelled SO GOOD!

I made a few freezer jars full of apple butter.  Two in the freezer, and one in the fridge.

I also made an apple pie.  I hate making pie crust, but this time, it surprisingly turned out ok! :)
