Apple Picking in the Valley

written by robin

Here are some shots of our recent trip to Barton Orchards. We went with our good friends and their niece and nephew, who were more than adorable.

Apple picking is more expensive than you might think.  $18 a bushel bag is a bit much for me.  We chose a half bushel for $9.  MacIntosh, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Cameo, Empire, Cortland, Macoun and Fuji are all gown and picked here.  Talk about a selection!!

Not only did we pick apples and pumpkins, but we bought apple cider and my absolute favorite, apple cider donuts!!  We bought a dozen and made short work of them before we even left the orchard.

Now the only thing I need to figure out is what to do with all the apples we picked!  

Any requests?

What are your favorite things to make with Apples?  Have you ever gone apple picking?
