It’s time to make some Apple Pie filling and some Apple Sauce. These apples in the bucket are what I harvested this year off my two trees. The nicer big apples I used to make apple pie filling from a recipe of a friend of ours. It sure was a lot of peeling of apples. Takes about 5 apples per quart jar.
Then it was time to use up the apples that were not good enough and make into applesauce. This was much easier then the pie filling. Just had to core the apples and put in a pot skins and all, and bring to a boil and cook until apples were tender all the way through. Then I ran them through the new device attachment I purchased for our Kitchen Aid mixer which separates the good stuff from the bad. The good sauce goes into the bowl on the right and the bad stuff comes out the end and into another container.
Then you put the sauce into a big pot and keep it hot until you are ready to fill up your quart jars with the apple sauce.
Then you just put them in the pot to boil for 20 minutes and when you are done you have your apple sauce. The picture below is my Apple Pie filling on the left and my Apple Sauce on the right. 
A good canner always cleans up after their self and Christi took a picture to prove that I cleaned up my mess. All an all it was a big day which I spent most of it in the kitchen. But it was fun to see the “fruits” of my labor this summer end up on our shelves for some delicious eating ahead.
