@Mominohio Wow! Lots of info there! Thanks! My best friend always runs her apple scraps through her Victorio strainer the second time. I just thought it was because she was extremely frugal. I didn't know it changed the texture. I'll have to think about that one. We have thick and thin preferences in my family. I don't think $7.00 per gallon sounds too expensive. I like to try to get apples after the first frost too. Lately, I have been using Empire for sauce.

Empire is my all time favorite apple, and you think we'd plant some, but my husband does the buying and planting and I just never requested it!

Meijer grocery has fresh crop apples on sale right now and they do the same thing every year at this time, and it is the freshest local from the orchard apples ever. They kind of ruin me for a fresh apple for the rest of the year. they are so good right now. 

I bough a big bowl and mixed empires, fugi, jonathans, and some other older varieties you don't see much throughout the year in the standard bagged apples in the store. 

The older I get the more I realize that while most fruit and veggies are now available to us all year, most also have a very small window where they are at their very best and highest quality, and it really spoils it for the rest of the year when we have to take the average stuff!
