I nearly broke my behind for these apples.<\/p>\n

I was on a ladder on some uneven ground reaching a bit too far. *shudder*<\/p>\n

The plan was to make apple butter for putting up. But then I realized just how small and, well, homely these apples were and realized that I was not going to peel and core them all. So, I looked at what I had peeled and decided that would still cook them.<\/p>\n

Knowing that this was destined to top oatmeal or yogurt in the near future gave me creative license with the recipe. I am afraid, however that I was pretty conservative. Brown sugar + apples + lemon juice + water + pumpkin pie spice + heat.<\/p>\n
