Well, about half of them I peeled, chopped and placed in freezer bags for making pies over the winter months. The other half I made into delicious dutch oven applesauce. It quite literally will make your entire house smell like heaven. It&#8217;s amazing &#8211; not to mention very simple to throw together.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to try it for yourself? Here are the basic steps to making it:<\/p>\n<h2>1) Peel, Chop &amp; Core 4-6 Apples<\/h2>\n<p>Then add them to your dutch oven with 3\/4 cup of water.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1531\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/index.php\/2016\/09\/20\/apple-picking-in-the-country\/dscf5841\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?fit=3072%2C2304&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3072,2304\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S4250WM&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1471840975&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0714285714286&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"chopped apples\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1531\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"chopped apples\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5841.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>2) Add Sugar &amp; Spice<\/h2>\n<p>I add about 1\/2 cup of white sugar, along with 1\/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1533\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/index.php\/2016\/09\/20\/apple-picking-in-the-country\/dscf5843\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?fit=2304%2C3072&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2304,3072\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S4250WM&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1471840999&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sugar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"sugar\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSCF5843.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3) Add Lemon Juice &amp; Simmer<\/h2>\n<p>Then I squeeze the juice from 2 large lemons into the pot, stir it all up and let it simmer on medium heat for an hour or however long it takes for the apples to cook all the way down.
