We wrapped APPLE SEASON up nicely. Shana made some apple sauce with Talia which I even liked. (Not usually a fan) It's grand actually being able to use the apples this year. Last year, they were hit with some buggies or some such, but this year we treated the tree with an oil, hung buggy catchers and seemed to be able to fight off most of the bugs leaving us a lovely crop. Next year, will hit things a little harder and save more apples.
I made some fried apples that were....so damn good. :) A lovely breakfast for the family. I followed this recipe and it was a sweet treat for all.

We're looking into building a new planter box next year as well. We think our soil isn't deep enough to get large, full grown veggies.So, next year, we're going to build a deep wood box, bring in better soil and try for larger veggies.
I've dropped in images below.
Cheers!

Ingredients
- 2 large granny smith apples
- 4 tablespoons real butter, chopped
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
- Peel, core and cut apples into even slices.
- Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.
- Add apples and drizzle them with lemon juice.
- Let apples simmer until most of butter is absorbed and apples are tender. (do not overcook. Apples should be firm to the touch, yet tender with a little give to the bite.)
- Stir together sugars and sprinkle them over apples.
- Toss to combine.
- Lower heat if needed.
- Let apples cook until sugars are completely dissolved and syrupy.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle apples with cinnamon.
- Toss to distribute cinnamon.

Notes
Cooking time will vary based on apples used and thickness of apples.
