It's the absolute end of the apple season over here.

At the end of the tomato season I thought I'd fill jars and jars with passata and sauce. Didn't.

Apples, though. Apple sauce. Essential in the pantry of a pig grower, don't you think? 

Our nearest orchard is selling huge boxes of apples for $10 and I bought two. And a slinky peeler machine. 

Just got to get them off the table and into jars now. 

Because my love for apple sauce is nothing compared to my love for apple pie. 

Mmmm, pie.

Is it just me, or are apples pretty much a perfect food?

(Particularly baked with custard?)

P.S. For the 'Best ever Birthday' cookbook giveaway, the random number generator picked number 54, which was RAKSTER with this this comment: 

"Yes yes yes. We have three cakes this week. Mine yesterday. O's today and O's party on Sunday. … Then more next week. I am busy baking. And we would love a cookbook!"

Coming your way, Rakster.
