I made apple jelly and peach jelly from cooking the peels and pits/cores in a lg crockpot for almost 24 hours, on low. I drained out the juice through a cheesecloth, and used low sugar pectin to make the most flavorful jelly I've ever made. It's amazing what can be made from the "scraps" of fruit, so easily, and it takes no time at all to do it, once your scraps have been cooked down. Then there's still enough scraps for the chicken to enjoy! If you don't have time to turn the juice into jelly, put it in 4 cup measurements in ziplock bags, freeze it flat on a tray, then stack the bags for future use in the winter, when you have more time to make jelly. I've always doubled my jelly recipes, and have never had them not set up.
Hubbys workmate is gifting us a huge box of apples, I cannot wait to make apple pie, apple crisp, applesauce, apple cake and freeze some slices for future pies. I love spring because of planting time, but fall is awesome for apples and squash and all the warm cozy food.
MN here. We just harvested our apples last week. We planted them 7 years ago and from 3 trees we got 8 1/2 bushels! I forgot I had windfalls from July in the basement too! I never thin the fruit on my trees, they do it naturally in June or July. I love rustic pies, no fuss and still just as good! I can taste that pie!
Hello Ms. Chelsea! I am from the Philippines who love to watch your vlogs whenever you posted your latest works at the garden. You work so hard and enjoy whatever you get into it. Can I ask you about something, if you want to be part of the Home and Garden magazines and subscription guests???? For sure everyone wants your experience and ideas to be posted for learning purposes. Keep going and enjoy. We love to be part of your journey!!!! By the way, do you also have McDonald's and KFC'S in your place? Or Hobby Lobby?
I've never heard of Tenderflake pie crust. Could you please share your recipe with us? It Looked so wonderful. My husbands favorite desert is apple pie.
The wasps have been terrible here in Alberta. I made up a wasp trap using a plastic food tray, and adding a cup each of water, applecider vinegar and sugar . Stir and top with dish soap. Works great
You might think about laying out an old sheet on the ground before you harvest and then once you’ve pull it out from underneath the tree it should save you a few minutes in harvest time 😊! Over time it will add up! I do this with my berries too!!!
Hi Chelsea. I’m new here. Just started watching your videos today. I love the concept of a rustic pie as I’m not very good at making pie crusts. I think I could do the rustic pie thing tho. Loving your content.
Honestly my fav part of Australia is the fact i was able to keep a chilli plant alive through winter i could’ve kept getting chilli’s but had to stop cause we had no kitchen so it went dormant almost all dry but still green n now it’s bouncing back slowly best part of not having frosty winters
It would be amazing if you would take us to Costco with you and have you tell us the prices and any other info you like about the products, as well as doing a haul at home. Those are some of my favorite types of videos.
Your pie looks so delicious I love walking in the garden with you and looking at all of the amazing things you have grown I love how you can your own food so much better for your Family God Bless!
I think that tenderflake pastry is the best! If you are one of those who has trouble making pie crusts this is proof perfect everytime just follow the box ingredients. I love tourtiere using tenderflake...I have a sister that everytime she would make a pastry we would lift if off the pie and throw it like a frisbie. Mind you her 7 layer chocolate cakes would be about and inch high.... hmmmm lol lol We still raz her till this day. She then used tenderflake and voila ... That rustic pie Chelsea is so beautiful and I agree you don't always need ice cream. I am about to make some jars of apple sauce here. There truly is something spectacular about looking at a apple tree that has red or blush fruit ready to go. Our bears around here sure know where to come. lol Cheers
Hi Chelsea, i'm from CalgaryAlberta and that rustic pie you maded oes look yummy,I make those all the time and it is called a GALETTE. Love your channel!
I have a local honey company that bring bees to my place. I get honey for rent and they pollinate my garden and flowers so it is a win win situation, but this year the bees they brought us are very aggressive and my husband and i have been stung several times and chased into the house more than once. Today while i was mowing the lawn i had bees attacking me and i got stung while putting gas in the mower. If you freeze dry the apple rings sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar, they are so good.
I truly believe you live a lovely charmed life up there. Every video is a triumph. Ahhh, those apples. It reminds me of when my dad planted an apple tree. It was small. One time we went for a visit, there were huge big red apples on his tree. I was stunned by it and thrilled. But he had tied up artificial apples throughout the branches. I still laugh about that. ❤️
Chelsea, your pie has me yearning for one. I think I will make one tomorrow from our apples. I just went out today and checked them and they are ready to harvest. I have so many canning and freezing projects on my list! But a pie will come first.Yum!
So great that you’re tasting the lovely fruits of your labor in the gardens! Thanks for sharing! I made butter with my immersion blender in a quart jar (small batch) & it was so much faster than my stand mixer! Are your cows dried off right now? Blessings 🤗🇨🇦🌻
Hi Chelsea, I can’t believe I’ve been following you for almost 2 years! Love your channel and every bit of what you share with us! I’m at a state where I finally can afford your cookbook but it seems like I can’t purchase it via Amazon. I’d love a hard copy but e-book is also fine. When do you plan to re-open the purchase page again?
I thought there was no apples/fruit in BC? we haven’t received any BC fruit in Alberta! We have no apples this year because of the weird late winter/ spring weather.
Seeing your Comfrey brought back fond memories. I had a Bernese/Chow mix who tried anything to get inside the garden gate to snack on the comfrey leaves. It was so hardy, as much as he stripped it clean, it bounced right back. I never used it for anything, but it was a beautiful addition to the garden. Also, it surprised me that you liked the scent of the hops. Once, driving through hops fields in Washington state , I was overcome with the odiferous air around me. Maybe it’s pleasant in small amounts?🤷♀️ Your apples look lovely and crisp! 🍎 🍏
I think maybe you either love it or you don’t. I live in a rural town in SW Idaho that is a huge hops growing area. When they are being harvested, my husband and I love the smell wafting through the air.
Hi Chelsea...do you start your comfry from seed indoors? Love the Minion story...not great at the time but is one of those experiences that makes you smile as a memory. ❤
Hops? Like the hops (sp) used for making beer? If yes, I didn't know they had medicinal uses as well. Very interesting. I went to my local apple orchard today to pick apples. Two varieties are ready for picking, honey crisp and tsaguru (sp) The rest are not ready. The pumpkins weren't ready either. But it was a lot of fun picking. The weather was perfect for it. I got about 35-ish pounds worth. It'll be a busy weekend :--)
So jealous Chelsea! The squirrel 🐿️ ate all my apples off of the apple tree this year and moved on to my peach tree and emptied it within two days. I’m beside myself with these awful squirrels ! I put netting around the apple tree and they ate through it
Hey Chelsea! Did you get your apple trees from the big box store or buy them online? I’m hoping to plant a small orchard in spring. Thank you for your time!
New subie and I just love your channel. I am a sucker for apples..we don't have them here in NE Texas..but I sure love to see them when we travel! Thanks so much for sharing!
Your rustic pie looked wonderful. Have you ever made a spiced apple jelly with your apple scraps juice? I need to get to making some but am short on spices until I go shopping!
When they are about a half inch to an inch in diameter. Leave the biggest one in the cluster and leave them no closer than 6” apart. Oh, and none on the last 6” of a branch.

The garden is still beautiful! 💚It is amazing how much harvest you have had! love the Rustic Pie~❤

I make pear butter from the peels and scraps. It tastes much better than if you actually use the fruit.
Chelsea you are the hardest working homesteader! I enjoy your videos so much. You appreciate everything!

You are simply AMAZING
Chelsea, I don’t recall how I found you, but I’m thankful I did! I SO enjoy each video & 💜 to hear you talk!
😂Love the root cellar story!!!!

Your gardening tips are so helpful Thank you for sharing
I am watching from Africa
I have apple butter going in the crockpot and juice in the refrigerator
I am truly amazed at how you were out of butter!!! We've all seen your Costco hauls and butter is the main item😁

It is online and Tenderflake is available on Amazon.

Chelsea, you made a galette! ❤
It is delightful to follow you as you harvest and then immediately start processing the harvest. 💕💕
Perhaps you should freeze dry apple peels and make a powder, it is full of quercetin and a natural pectin product.
You might think about laying out an old sheet on the ground before you harvest and then once you’ve pull it out from underneath the tree it should save you a few minutes in harvest time 😊! Over time it will add up! I do this with my berries too!!!

Hi Chelsea, the forest garden looks so beautiful! Pie looks delicious, as do all of your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful looking rustic apple pie!

Todays high was 95 in Tx , I'm ready for the cool weather 😅
Pie looks so delicious. Im hungry i could eat a big bowl of it.
Loved
I would love the pie crust recipe. There is nothing like a rustic apple pie. I have made them on a very befall scale and they are delicious.
Mmmmm yum!

Love your garden tours and kitchen fun. Happy Fall Chelsea!

Hello so sorry missed u 😢 been busy with kids and old age home ❤
Hello from Wagga Wagga down under Australia….🎉
Thanks so much for your note in regards to my garden 🪴 with hurricane Francine just passing my garden got the brunt of the weather by wind
Big daddy Apple Tart it's going to be good.
I just finished processing my apple harvest. A lot of work but so worth it!!!
Another wonderful video. The apple pie looks delicious. You're amazing at everything you do.
I like to dip my apple rings into a cinnamon sugar mixture before I dehydrate them. They are so good and boy does the house smell good too.
I just use cinnamon sprinkled on.
I love your channel ❤️ 💕.
So great that you’re tasting the lovely fruits of your labor in the gardens! Thanks for sharing! I made butter with my immersion blender in a quart jar (small batch) & it was so much faster than my stand mixer! Are your cows dried off right now? Blessings 🤗🇨🇦🌻
Your rustic pie is what we call a crostata or galette here in New England.
I screamed with you at the wasps 😂 I was stung twice just yesterday because I didn’t see the wasps when I was pulling weeds off a trellis.
Haven't seen you use your glass water rolling pin. That thing is so cool. You need to show the new viewers that may have never seen one.

The pie looks delicious ❤
Funny I just watched the video you made with your mom and mother in law (7 years ago ) and your Mom talked about hops!😁
I live in Ontario Canada
A friend just gave me a bunch of apples from their trees and I made some apple cider and canned it.
Man oh Man that pie looks soooo goooood !!!
Hello from another follower in Australia 🎉
Your pie looks great! Vanilla ice cream would be great.😊
Hi!! My sister grows hops to make beer. Her plants grow vertically.
Chelsea hope your day is good can you tell me the name of the broccoli you grew
I thought there was no apples/fruit in BC? we haven’t received any BC fruit in Alberta! We have no apples this year because of the weird late winter/ spring weather.
Definitely needs some ice cream! ❤

Hi Chelsea, can you share where you bought the hops seed?
i hope you do another class soon
Just joined. I can't wait ❤

Oh no! Where I grew up in Appalachia in the U.S. people ate squirrels. Maybe it's your turn to feast. 😆
Oh what a bummer..sorry about that.
Oh, those squirrels would be HIStory!!! They do make kill traps, I would be investing in a few of them, they are rodents.
Good morning from Pennsylvania!
What kind of apple trees are these and do you know about how big they will get?
That pie looks amazing, gonna try that one. I also prefer dehydrated apple slices, so yummy with a little cinnamon on them 😋
Love apples! Delish! Blessings!
Has anyone ever freeze dried vanilla extract? We can get 1 liter Mexican vanilla at our grocery store. Love to hear about that!
Thanks for sharing👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸
Looks yummy!
Love your house, soooooo cozy
Beautiful apples 🍎
Hey Chelsea! Did you get your apple trees from the big box store or buy them online? I’m hoping to plant a small orchard in spring. Thank you for your time!
New subie and I just love your channel. I am a sucker for apples..we don't have them here in NE Texas..but I sure love to see them when we travel! Thanks so much for sharing!
What part of Northeast Texas do you live? I was born in cooper.
So beautiful there!
looks so good!
Chelsea, where is your Roo apron??!! Picking apples seems like a perfect fit for harvesting.
It’s hurting my back for whatever reason.
Fill a jar with medicinal hops and then add honey. Let it sit for a month or two and use the honey for cooking and meals.
When caning can you swap out celery and use parsnips instead?
Your rustic pie looked wonderful. Have you ever made a spiced apple jelly with your apple scraps juice? I need to get to making some but am short on spices until I go shopping!
❤❤❤
What do you do with the hops? I think they are really beautiful plants.
Did you order your trees from a nursery or a local garden center? I’d like to plant a small apples tree or two.
Trick...zucchini Apple pie filling
The sun flowers are amazing. When you thin an apple tree when is it. Looks like a galette?
When they are about a half inch to an inch in diameter. Leave the biggest one in the cluster and leave them no closer than 6” apart. Oh, and none on the last 6” of a branch.
