Did I mention that I pulled in the last of the apples? Total from the Arkansas Black was right at 20 pounds, which is just under half a bushel or about 2 pecks. I didn't think that was too bad for a first harvest from an 8 year old tree(semi-dwarf, currently mature height at approximately 15' tall)
Tomorrow I plan to slice them up and make pie filling/cobbler filing. I'll probably mix a bit of pears into some, maybe make a few quarts of a blueberry apple mix. Does anyone have any other, unique ideas using apples that will go for pie and cobbler? I have plenty of pears and blueberries, don't need applesauce..
