Cooking with Apples

Every year at this time when the weather starts to turn crisp, its time for a trip to the apple orchard. Lovely apples of all varieties are there from which to choose. We come home with red and yellow delicious for eating, plus some Cortlands or Rome beauties for cooking.

When the children were little, I used to can applesauce. There was nothing better than opening a jar of homemade apple sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Apple butter can be bought from various church groups or from local apple butter stir off's around the country. What my family liked the most was when I made apple dumplings. I usually tried to make a lighter meal win the dumplings were cooking. Maybe potato soup or homemade vegetable soup. The cooler weather called for nice, warm meals that warmed you on the inside as well as on the outside. Dumplings in the oven, warmed our hearts as well as the kitchen.
