Fall and wintertime months , we are fortunate to have an copiousness of orchard apple tree and pears . My father - in - law like to drive up to Frederick , Maryland , and buy apples at the orchard there and brings us back a udder or basketful . We have local orchards just down the road , too . We store the apples in our cold room in the basement and they keep over the wintertime months .

I love a crisp apple – never maudlin – with both tart and fragrance , lean towards red - skinned diverseness . My personal favorites are Nittany , Honey Crisp and Stayman Winesaps , which make a rosy - hued applesauce . I do n’t prefer green Malus pumila , except maybe in pies with a lot of sweetener add — I gauge they are too sharp-worded for me .

Sure , we rust lots of apples out of hand or slice , and pears too . However , our family favorite is homemade trumpery . It is good quick just after it is made , at elbow room temperature , and moth-eaten from the fridge . If we have time and an copiousness all at once , we make sauce and can it . However , mostly I make a mess just about every hebdomad or two during cold weather . It is well-situated , can be done while you are doing other matter in the kitchen , and it make the house smell wonderful .

I like rubbish on bungalow cheese or with yogurt for breakfast accompany by goner with nut butter . It is a very pleasant and companionable flavor combination . It is good on oatmeal , pancakes and waffles . Applesauce is a outstanding bite food all on its own . It can be used in muffin and patty and on gingerbread and is very well on vanilla , dulce de leche or butter pecan deoxyephedrine cream . Make some today !
