so somehow the weeks had gotten away from me and i realized that i never went apple picking like i had been planning on doing. so guess what i decided to do this weekend? yup. unfortunately, the orchard i go to had just closed for the season - the day before! so i just drove out to delicious orchards instead, because i had my heart set on making applesauce. i also had my heart set on jelly belly candy corn (the only vegan candy corn option i have encountered in my years). they always have quite the selection. i immediately regret my annual candy corn indulgence moments after i begin to stuff my face, but man, is it tasty. worth the tummy ache that follows. oh, i also loaded up on apple cider. yum!
anyway, i found thee biggest apples i have ever seen in my life while shopping:
a giant fuji apple, held by my friend lyndsay. yes, those are adult hands. i'm telling you, those things were monsters! the six apples i bought weighed in at five and a half pounds!
the applesauce was way less interesting to take pictures of. but, it came out totally delicious, and the house smelled fabulous!
