Homemade Applesauce

Apples fresh from the tree!

After Bekah peeled them and put them in the pot!  With some sugar and cinnamon...

Bekah, hard at work!

I know I took a picture of the outcome somewhere. . . my life.  I'm always so close to almost having it all together!  Ha.  It just keeps me humble, I suppose.  Homemade applesauce is easy enough for even me and the gang to make!  Makes me hungry for fall. . .

Yum!!

These are yummy muffins and fun to make. The peeling and grating help get all involved! I think we'll be making these once a week!
