When I was in grade school, our class took a field trip to the house of another student.
I don't recall everything we did there, but I do recall learning to make cinnamon applesauce.
It must have been Fall.
The lady allowed us each to turn the crank on her apple coring machine.
I thought it was the niftiest thing.
And I have wanted a machine of my own ever since.
They always felt like an indulgence at $20 or even $15 apiece.
But this weekend, I found one brand new, on sale at a thrift store for $3.
I'm tempted to say my life is now complete, but really it is just a tad more sweet.
Apple curls, anyone?
