Suzanne and I went to Kimmel Orchard in Nebraska City over the weekend. Cherry cider and spiced apple donuts - YUM! And getting 15 pounds of apples to make apple pie and applesauce seemed like such a good idea. Until I was peeling and slicing about 35 apples! Oh, well. The results are delicious. We picked our own apples and aren't entirely certain which variety we got - we're pretty sure we picked Gala apples - and I also got some Jonathan apples. The mix worked very well for both the pie and applesauce. We're planning on going back to the orchard again in October or November to get some Granny Smith apples ... and more cherry cider and donuts!
