Great thread.
We have several varieties in our orchard. Sweet Sixteens, Northern Spies, Macs and Red Beauties.
Some of it goes to making apple cider.
We take a bushel or 2 over to the elementary school and do a "show and tell" with our cider press for the kids.
The kids take turns pressing the apples and using the hand crank. Afterwards, everyone gets to try the cider.
I make apple pie filling and can that.
It takes 2 quart jars to make 1 pie.
I add cinnamon, butter, sugar, and vanilla, cook it down, then can.
Been doing this for years.
