Crab apple can work like big apples

 




                While waiting on our big apple trees to do their thing we have some trees that came with our house and we are using what we have till we can make more. I found out you can use crab apples like regular apples people think they are bitter but that is because they leave the seeds and stems on when they cook them down.

Today we went out and picked as many as we could of our crab apples before the birds ate them all.

                                                        First, we rinsed and cut the apples 

Then we tossed it in the instapot with 5 cups of sugar and some cinnamon sticks 

Then we smash them up or drain them off to make apple juice or apple sauce just like big apples!
