Imagine all the Apples

Posted by Unknown

In my quest for becoming resourceful we went to a local orchard......or should I say a forgotten orchard. It was a thriving orchard in the 1940's and since has been subdivided into smaller acreage properties. The whole thing about this orchard is that I don't think any of the homeowners maintain their trees! There were hundreds or trees that have been abandoned with thousands of apples everywhere. My mind went to work with what I could do with them.
I dehydrated about 50 (thank you to my apple peeler for doing all the work) and have pies planned for different people. I'm not no much into canning so apple sauce isn't a priority. I feel like I'm the keeper of the apples and need to not let such a valuable resource go to waste. They are so good and just too many to pick myself.
Organic apples anyone? What should I do?
