We have the opportunity to order apples in the next few weeks... a 38 pound box for $10... that makes approximately 8 quarts of applesauce (or a whole lot of delicious pies or cakes). Amme wants to make applesauce, so we are just going to tag along with her on the order. Let Amme know if you are interested. (I know, she lives in Friendswood 1st Ward but that doesn't stop us from being friends, does it?)
Or, how about applesauce cake?
