You know that fall has arrived when apples and pears are
arriving in abundance. Now, that school
is back in session I am actually ready for fall and this week’s #SundaySupper
is an Autumn Apple Party.
This year brought us an amazing apple and pear harvest from
our trees. Actually the best harvest since we planted them. Oh, and yes there is a story to both of the
trees living in our yard.
The apple tree is older than the pear tree. We have two children, and hence two trees. We
planted a tree for each of our girls.
The idea started after we brought Alena home after she spent weeks in
the hospital. We just had to plant a
tree in her honor. Her little head was shaped like an apple, and I just called
her my little apple head. So you know, that we had to plant an apple tree for
her. We live in the city, so it had to
be an espalier apple tree. Alena’s apple
tree has now been living in our yard for eight years. When Mia Rose {our youngest} was born we just
had to plant a tree in her honor. We
found the perfect espalier pear tree, giving us the juiciest pears ever…oh, and
did you know the pear is Oregon’s state fruit? Ron, Alena, and I planted the tree for Mia
Rose and it has been living in our yard for six years…
Now on to the Apple Pear Kuchen {Apfel-Birnenkuchen} made from
Alena’s apples and Mia Rosie’s pears.
