American Pie

Nothing is more American than apple pie.

You won't hear the Germans bragging about their apple pie would you? Strudel maybe - pie nein!

Get a load of that apple crop you see to the left.

The trees are literally laden with fruit. Branches drooping towards the ground.

It's been dry as popcorn fart around here lately with maybe an inch of rainfall in the past seven weeks.

Since the trees are going to attempt to put some size on these fruits in the coming month we've been forced to give them a deep soaking periodically.

I stopped at Fleet Farm a couple of weeks ago to stock-up on additional canning supplies.

(Go now. Quickly. It's all on sale.)

Looking forward to canning homemade applesauce and pie filling.

Ooooh - pie....
