Busy with apples....
The past week I have been peeling, chopping, freezing, making apple butter (in which there is no butter), making apple tarts, apple sauce...etc......
I was given a very large bag of apples from a neighbour's tree...and, I'm not wasting any of them!!
Turns out I think they are Macintosh...which is my fave. I couldn't figure it out at first...they were all green and fairly firm...but, as they sat ..some turned pinkish here and there. The flesh seems to have softened a bit... they are Macs.... and, very tasty. The first ones I peeled were a bit less sweet, but still very edible.
Still have a smallish bagful left to deal with today...and, they are the smallest of the lot. My husband joked about it being akin to peeling grapes.... but it isn't quite that bad.
I've made apple tarts in the past and sent you to this site for the lovely olive oil pastry.... I'll post the link again because if you haven't tried it...you should.
The recipe is for Orange Tarts...but, the pastry is the same for any tart you wish to make. Just figure out a filling...
