We're off to a rainy start for October, and chilly enough to have a fire in the wood stove, though we won't do that for another couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll be stacking wood this weekend in preparation for the winter. We weren't really grasshoppers this summer, but I do feel behind with our wood. On the positive side, we (Okay, the children and Uncle Patrick) unloaded our final wagon of hay into the barn today, so that is one job DONE for the year. I was also blessed with a visit from two of my sisters, and making applesauce was top of the list...so that is done too!
I know I'm not the only one that enjoys a delicious apple pie in this autumn weather, so after a long day of making sauce, we indulged in a family favorite~

2/3 c. sugar
2T. flour
1/8 t. salt
1-2 t. lemon juice
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. cinnamon
6-7 c. apples
Mix ingredients in bowl, pour into pie crust. This can be used as a two crust pie, or make the crumb topping:
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. plus 2T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
dash of salt
1/2 c. butter
Mix; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of pie, bake at 425 F for 40-50 minutes, or at 375 F for 50 minutes.
The recipe is easy! Gather the children and have fun making memories, learning the art of pie-making, and enjoying the work of your hands!

Chunky applesauce is on my list of canning projects for this month. Putting up the last of the hay is something to celebrate indeed!
I am doing the same things this month ;)
I just picked up a bushel of apples for sauce and some pears also.

Thank-you for the recipe. Fresh and warm pies are a favorite of ours in crisp, fall weather!
