What is Apple pigs about?

A little girl discovers an old apple tree struggling beneath a pile of rubbish. She clears the mess and cares for the tree, which soon bursts into blossom and produces a gigantic crop of apples. Her family tries eating, cooking and storing them, but the apples keep coming—filling rugs, jugs, wagons and every corner of the house. At last, they invite everyone to a joyful apple feast. Includes instructions for making a charming apple pig.
