It's getting to be Apple Time here in the Mid-Atlantic; and the P&G email newsletter recently had a clever way of serving things in apple cups:

For the see-and-do folks, here's a video of how it's done:

And to go in them, from the great 'Pick Your Own' site - Cider, which I've never made, but it doesn't look more difficult than any other simple canning; and there's also a link in the article for making fermented and hard cider ;-):

And last, a very simple recipe for Apple Fritters, from Allrecipes:

Well when you’re raised in a family with five guys you learn early but conservative.
I’m looking for a moist apple cake recipe, bundt cake with walnuts, no icing. I had a piece at a party once and wish I had asked for the recipe. It was extremely moist, the hostess said it had oil instead of butter.
I love the idea of places like Minnesota - and even Alaska - because I love snow. But I wouldn’t survive it - heat never bothers me, but cold shrivels me up for what feels like endless weeks, once Christmas is over :-(
My hat’s off to you.
By the way: for juice, could you ‘pasteurize’ the baddies away?

USDA suggests pasteurizing store bought juice to 160 degrees for 6 seconds (farm store stuff?) but they don’t recommend this for home press.
Turkey X syndrome! New one in me! I so gotta find out more on this! Thanks
P.S. Can you give us info of mold on cheese???? LOL! That’s were I get very cavalier! Ain’t the part that’s blue-green and fuzzy, I’ll eat it.
As the apple bakes it melts the brown sugar and thickens and glazes the chop with gooey apple juice. If you want to go the extra mile, near the end actually glaze each with some reduced Calvedos with brown sugar melted in it.
I can eat three on any good day.
I survive, but my husband thrives. He loves the cold. We vacationed in Virginia several years ago and I kept saying how I would love to live there, he winced every time I made that comment. He probably couldn’t make it through one summer-heat drains him. I get mildly depressed every fall even though it’s absolutely lovely weather... it means winter is just around the corner.
You are spot on about winter after Christmas-months of cold with none of the merriment. Oh well, God placed me here so I shouldn’t complain!
Yum!!! Also baked SPAM covered with brown sugar.
Thanks! I hadn’t. looked online, but your post for the week reminded me of that cake and I thought I might make one.
There is only one apple.. the granny smith, or perhaps the wyandot or macintosh
You need Apple Jack.
Take the Cider, let it get hard, let it freeze, take an ice pick and pour off the “good bits”
Hmm, tried it once with fresh squeezed apple juice but it wound up turning into vinegar.
I use citric acid because you don’t get that lemony taste from lemon juice.
I’ve pressure canned and water bath canned tomatoes. You can get a seal on most foods with just beat, but that alone doesn’t make the food safe. The point of canning isn’t just the seal, but to kill any microorganisms before the sealing by heating the food to a required temperature high enough to kill the bacteria.
Try Apple Kuchen
I replace some of the moisture with apple sauce
Mmmmffftt ... yeah, guess so. Went and bought vodka and added it to apple juice. Worked.
Have Heart! My husband is from the wilds of Pennsylvania, and couldn’t get used to the heat and humidity here in the DC area - much less the Traffic! And he loves snow, and wants to see it come often.
But lately we’ve been looking at properties on the Internet, and he’s showing some budding fondness for places like North Carolina - they have mountains! - and even Kentucky.
There are also mountains in Virginia :-)
Whisper in his ear: Shoveling snow is a lot easier, when you don’t get that much of it - or at least, it’s not endless.
