CHAPTER 1

"What are you looking forward to this Rosh Hashanah?" Katy's teacher asked the class.

"Hearing the shofar!" shouted Max.

"Chicken soup at Grandma's!" exclaimed Abby.

Katy raised her hand, beaming. "Apple sauce," she said, "but not just any kind. Every year my mom and I go apple picking and then we make our own."

Katy had even more to share. "And I will have a new baby cousin later this month.

"Apple sauce and a baby in the New Year?" her teacher replied. "How exciting!"

Katy loved apples. She loved biting into their crispy skin and discovering the sweet, tart taste inside. But she loved apple sauce even more.

Every year at the orchard, Katy and her mother would search for the perfect apples. They would walk the rows, picking some of each variety until their bucket was full.

At home, Katy would place ten apples on the kitchen counter, and her mother would start to peel. Katy watched as her mother's steady hands moved quickly in circles, unraveling the skin like thread from as pool. Then Katy's mother would core and slice the apples, and Katy would put them into their biggest pot.

Katy would take cinnamon and sugar from the pantry and sprinkle them into the pot. Finally she would squeeze in some lemon juice and add a little bit of water. Soon the kitchen would fill with the sweet smell of apples and cinnamon. Just thinking about it made Katy's mouth water.
