Carter Mountain

We all went to Carter Mountain yesterday.  We were mainly hoping for peaches, but we figured that we could see which apples were ripe. 

We usually don't go so early in the season.  We like to go in October when the Fuji apples are ripe.  Fuji apples are my favorite and they taste REALLY good as applesauce.  Last year we went to the mountain twice and each time we brought home three and four bags full of apples.

Soon after we got there, we heard the the peach crop wasn't promising, so we ended up purchasing peaches at the market instead of actually picking them.  We did, however, pick a few Gala apples.  We managed to find about five good ones.  All of the apples we picked look fantastic on the bottom, but the tops and insides were all rotted in. 

Best part of this trip were the apple cider donuts.  They are heavenly.  We bought half a dozen.  They're almost gone now.

I am so looking forward to the next trip up the mountain in October!!
