Apple Harvest Soup Recipe
Our apple trees are amazing this year. It's been an incredible harvest. I know, I'm supposed to be a city girl, but here's the thing, on weekend I play farmer. I've been hunting for recipes to use up the apples from the orchard.
We have a house about 100 miles from Brooklyn in the middle of nowhere. It's in very rural Connecticut and used to be part of an apple orchard. A few years ago, we could finally afford to thin out the trees in the backyard. Then two years ago we had the budget to get the apple trees trimmed to improve the quality of the fruit. Now we are reaping the rewards.

At first the apples were bad. Really bad. Then they got better--ugly but tasty. This year we hit the jackpot. They look great and taste great. We send the kids out to pick. We've got two varieties (I have no idea what the official name for either of them would be). Both are tart and delicious. There are about two weeks of harvest time when we have to collect all the apples.
We store some, but most should be eaten and enjoyed. I've been searching all over the web for apple recipes. I combined a few of my favorites and came up with this Momtrends original recipe.
