Apple pie from storage

This is the first year we've had keeping any sort of luck keeping apples over the winter. We have yet to build a proper root celler. Living in an 100 yr + farm house we do have a celler that we keep the jars of food we preserve as well as potatoes but it's too moist or too dry for most other vegetables. I've been keeping a bushel of apples in the coldest room in our house, which could be any number of room depending on the wind and it's paid off, local apples in February!

These apples look great after months in storage.

Hopefully by next fall we'll have a proper root cellar full of pumpkins, squash, apples, onions, carrots, beets and potatoes. We'll just add building one to the never ending to do list, maybe if we remember how good homemade apple pie tastes in February we'll move it higher on the list.

Here's to hoping for a root celler.
