When life gives you 30 pounds of apples, you…

…think of all the apple dishes you can and get to baking, cooking and eating.

My friend Dr. Rob was in town this weekend, and he picked gobs of apples off of his parents’ apple trees. That’s how I came into the apple treasure trove of the century.

I now have big plans for these little beauties. In fact, I feel like since I’ve inherited them, my whole life has revolved around them. See, you can’t just have 30 pounds of apples sitting on your counter and ignore them. No, I will not waste, thee, apples.

Naturally, I had to go buy a new toy for my apple exploits. An apple peeler, corer, and slicer? Yes, please. I found one with relative ease. Okay, that’s a lie. It took me half a day of looking.

I now have one of these glorious tools in my hot little hands and I’m way too excited about it every time I use it. Crank a handle, 20 seconds later, the apple is magically ready to rock. Yes, I know these things have been around for like hundreds of years.  I still think it’s cool.

Confession: I probably ate six of these muffins today. Oops. They’re kind of irresistible. The sweet apples with the tart cranberries is really a perfect pairing.

Now, as to that last 28 pounds of apples…
