Like our early apples that were earlier than usual this year, a string of heavy frosts also came early with a couple of light snows. That meant it was time to pick the late summer and autumn apples.
Though still very small, the newest trees in Dad's orchard are beginning to bear some delicious fruit.
Our oldest tree, a Haralred, has seen better days. Years of overproduction have broken off most of its branches. But with strong bracing for the past couple months, Mom and Dad still got many boxes of baking apples picked.
Now it is time to enjoy apple crumbles!
Making dessert around here means making three deserts. One for Mom and Dad with dairy and nuts, one for me without, and a Keto dessert for Elsa - requiring berries rather than too-sweet apples.
