apple baking

Let the apple baking begin: 81 lbs of fruit is no joke! (Plus, I was spending a lot of time this week avoiding a particular work project... procrastination makes me an especially prolific cook. There were lamb meatballs and stromboli this week, salmon sushi handrolls and oat bread, coconut-pecan granola and rye pancakes...)

Apple crisp (8 apples), butternut squash and apple soup (3 apples), oatmeal-cranberry yeast bread

Last October, I made three different apple cakes: (this, this, and this). The year before, two different apple cakes: this and this.  Today I experimented with yet another: "mom's apple cake" (6 apples).  No clear winner yet, although this latest one was pretty good. More apple cakes to come!
