One month later, we headed back to Chatham Orchards for a go at the later ripening varities: Empire apples, Mutsus, and Golden Delicious. Crisp, sweet, it absolulety doesn't get any better than fresh picked. Peetra found a great recipe online for Butternut- Apple soup. We're still enjoying eating fresh slices of this tasty fruit, but will soon turn some of them into chunky apple sauce to enjoy during the coming winter. I like Martha Stewart's recipe: 3 lbs. apples, peeled & sliced, 1 cup of water, 1/4 c. sugar, simmered til tender. Martha adds a cinnimon stick to this, but we like ours sans.

Sounds like your apple picking expeditions were more fruitful than ours. There weren't many apples left on the tees when we went in Sept. in Oak Glen. But we had a great time picking raspberries at the same orchard.
