"Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink
That is the finest of suppers, I think
When I'm grown up and can have what I please,
I think I shall always insist upon these."
Christopher Morley
When cooking fresh apples for pies or sauces, the yield is about 50%. 1 pound raw = 1/2 pound cooked.
Use tart apples for apple pie.
