For a few weeks now while walking the dogs every morning, we have been admiring the bounty on a neighbor’s apple tree.

So the other day after school the kids and I got permission from this kind neighbor and picked a bucket full of apples. 

My daughter finished filling the bucket as my son enjoyed the shade of a huge tree after picking for a while.

A few days prior they had gone to another neighbor’s and picked a bag full of pears.  So what to do with all this fruit?  Why, bake pies, of course.
