Apple Ideas

[MAYNARDSMOM]

Took the young ' uns to pick apples this afternoon. Such a tough job I have.
Now that I have oodles of apples, any ideas what I can do with some of them? We will be making applesauce tomorrow & probably some apple butter. Looking for different ideas/recipes.
Thanks!!

My kids...

Love an apple cut up and microwaved for about 2 min til it's soft. Top w/ yogurt & granola and it's like an apple crisp! Yummy!

Chop it and add it to your oatmeal before you cook it. Enjoy making applesauce... yum!

I love apples! Wish my dh weren't allergic to them!

Baked apples (more or less core them, except for a 'bottom' you leave in, and fill with a bit of sweetener, and or chopped raisins and dates, cinnamon, then bake at 350 until they are soft).

Apple crisp...yummy!

"Caramel apple salad": chopped apples, dates and walnuts.

Hey Tami,

You went today? I better get out there.

Apple Pies- I make a bunch of different types and freeze them for the holidays. If you bake them a bit they freeze better, then finish baking when you are ready to serve them.

Apple Crisp- Well that's a given.

Applesauce in a crockpot is a breeze.

Let 'em get mushy and chuck it at someone.

We started going up near Watkins Glen last year (closer for us). Before that we went to Penn Yann. Where do you go? We are early in the season so you still have plenty of time. I cannot believe how flavorful the apples are. Does not even compare to a store bought one, so much better!!

Peel, slice, freeze them for apple protein smoothie...One cup of ice, one cup apple slices, 1 cup water, 1 scoop of vanilla protein, dash of cinnamon, blend. Or you could add a banana for apple/banana smoothie. I love fruit/protein smoothies!
