we did it! we took a family walk down to the apple tree yard yesterday. we knocked on the door and introduced ourselves and asked to pick their apples (actually, Joshua was the one who asked - - one of the best kinds of brave and manly, I think!)
"Yes, yes!" our neighbor told us "take the apples!"
and so we did.
I have a huge pile of apples sitting in my kitchen now, and I'm thinking I really should make up a pie or a crisp. does anyone have a recipe that I really must try?

I don't know if you are able to can at all or have access to canning supplies. However, if you're able to, this apple pie filling recipe is SO EASY and absolutely delicious. It doesn't take long and makes 7 quarts that are wonderful to pull out when guests are coming and you want a quick crisp or pie.
