Apple pie-apalooza time saving tips?
The Pound Ridge Lobsterfest is fast approaching and my annual pie baking extravaganza is taking place in a couple weeks. My friend Jennifer & I bake close to 30 pies.
We are trying to find some time-saving solutions. I seem to remember reading about slicing the apples the day before making pie. Anyone have any experience on whether and/or how this will work? We will be rounding up helpers to peel and slice, but if we can do all the hard labor the day before, imagine the possibilities!

We only had one day to get it all done, so weren't able to try the freezing method. But I'm definitely gonna try that out!
I, too, love the "eat well do good" slogan. It's very catchy!
I'm pretty sure they don't ship the lobsters. :( But if you're in the area, come over!
I can slice 2 apples per minute with a peeler that looks like this: http://www.jbprince.com/garde-manger/vegetable-peelereuropean-styl.asp They don't usually cost more than a few dollars each at Sur La Table or restaurant supply places.
I wish I could help-- that sounds like a lot of fun!
What do you do with your prepped apples? I'm guessing stick them in acidulated water in the fridge?
LobsterFest is so much fun. Take the day off and come up! :) Here's the info: http://poundridgecommunitychurch.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/LobsterFest_Flyer_2012_v6_PDF.11565006.pdf "Eat well. Do good."
