Our early apples ripened earlier than usual this year. For several weeks we have been enjoying the creamy sweetness of our Red Barons.
Amazingly, the tree still has branches after several years in a row of overloaded fruit cracking them off. This year Dad propped up the endangered limbs with 2x4s and PVC pipes.
To our taste buds the apples are already so sweet that we just add lots of cinnamon...
...top with a combination of coconut flakes, coconut flour, and coconut oil...
...bake, and enjoy!!
They also cook down quickly to a yummy, chunky applesauce or dehydrate in a day and a half into crispy, cinnamon-y chips.
The cores and peels will be great for our compost pile which then nourishes our vegetable gardens in years to come.
After two full rounds through the dehydrator, I was ready to give the last box away. Some friends stopped by for it, cleaned up the last windfalls, and had all this sauce made a couple hours later!
