Where All The Good Apples End up...

My boyfriend's favorite thing in the world is apple sauce. 4 toasts with a generous helping of apple sauce on top of each slice are part of his daily breakfast (I approximate this is how he enjoys breakfast 300/365.25 days a year). This roughly translates to 24 oz of apple sauce every week and a half. Lucky for him, I enjoys my early fall apple picking trips and making apple sauce and apple butter (and other apple related things). Apple sauce is basically a cooked apple puree, and the apple butter is the thickened jam version. I've always thought apple butter is a funny name for it as there's no butter. That is, until I've tried it. It's just so rich and velvety in your mouth!
