Making Applesauce

Megan was able to stop peeling her apples long enough for me to get a picture, cheesy grin and all. While we were grocery shopping I asked Megan if she wanted to help me make applesauce. Of course because it was kitchen related she said yes! She was an apple peeling machine! I couldn't get the apples on the peeler fast enough. I think she peeled a bag of apples in about 5 minutes!
Do they have professional apple peelers? Watch out Uncle Jason, at the rate Megan's skills are progressing, you might be out of a job come September!

"Wow, that really big." She liked unraveling the peels to see how long they were.

While she was peeling the apples she noticed the squirrels outside and she thought the squirrels would like some apples. I told her we could take the peels and cores out to them. She went and found a bowl in her toy room to put the apple cores in. Then we took the peels and apple cores outside and put them on a tree stump that just happened to be in a perfect positions to watch the squirrels eat. It took about 5 minutes for them to find the apples. Megan had fun watching the squirrels guard the apples from each other. Plus I think she like seeing how many windows she could watch out of, upstairs, downstairs, dining room, kitchen etc.

Back to the applesauce. Here is Megan sprinkling in some cinnamon. She did an excellent job making sure to get the cinnamon on all the apples.

Next a little liquid, some apple cider, to help the apples cook. Megan got a little too excited and spilled some cider, but I guess that is what happens when 2 year old cook. Notice Baron behind her, he did the clean up for me. Oddly, he is never to far when Megan is cooking!?!
