We went too late in the season so all that was left were these tiny little apples that looked very dirty--probably some we even picked up off the ground since the trees were pretty sparse. After driving several hours up there, we felt like we couldn't come home empty handed. So we picked a bunch of these little apples. The more I looked at these dirty apples I decided I needed to "disinfect" them as just plain water wouldn't get them clean. So I soaked them in apple cider vinegar! I thought it was pretty clever at the time. But then after smelling the awful vinegar I couldn't imagine eating those apples so I finally decided to throw them out. I actually bought cheaper, better looking apples at the local grocery store instead! Well at least we got good "apple picking" photos out of that trip and a slice of pie at a local cafe on the way. <br /><br /> By the way, mom, - Michael thinks the blog looks really professionial seeing all the things you've baked!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295300722153704630noreply@blogger.com
