Apples, Apples Everywhere

With the approach of autumn,

comes the time of the apple harvest 

in southern New Jersey...

Red Delicious Apples

O down in the orchard

And up the tall ladders

The fruit pickers climb.

Among the green branches

That sway overhead

The apples are hanging

All rosy and red.

Just ripe for the picking,

All juicy and sweet!

So pretty to look at

And lovely to eat!

and spices in a large mixing bowl.

Let stand for fifteen minutes.

and seal and flute edge. Cut several

slits or designs in crust so that steam
