Peel, Slice, Bake, Repeat.

Yesterday I picked all the apples off of our apple tree. We got two large rubbermaid containers FULL so I'm baking away trying to use it all up before they go bad. I've already given a bunch away and I'm sure I'll give away more yet.

So far I've done 5 pies and 2 apple platz. Platzes?

For the semi-mennonites out there its apple platz. For the pure-bred mennonites, its obstkuchen. For the non-mennonites, its dutch apple cake.

Next on the list is apple loaf, apple muffins, and apple cider. (If I can find a decent apple cider recipe---- anyone? anyone? Buhhhhhh-ler?)

The platz/platzes and pie all look and smell delicious. I need to give them away before I eat them. AHhhhhhhhh! Get it away from me!!!!!

Back to the kitchen......
