Almost 10 POUNDS of apples! Help!

I've already made an apple-loaf thing, which would have turned out better if I had used more eggs, but that's not the point. Aside from a pie, what else can I do with these and some self-rising flour?

Make applesauce.


You won't need the flour, but it uses up a lot of apples and is a lot more simple than it sounds.

Send some to me. I love apples! Haha.

You could make some more of the bread and give it out to neigbors. (That or any other treats.) Applesauce is a good idea. Make apple and PB sandwiches. Put them in your oatmeal. You can peel, core an apple then sprinkle it with splenda and cinnamon and bake it.

Apple turnovers are always good. You could also just give apples away to neigbors as well.

Chop some up and put them in salads

Smoothies/cider

Heat them and put them in sandwiches

Roast potatoes and apples

Bake/broil with a large chunk of meat

Sneak them into cookies, cakes, and other desserts as the sweetener

You can never have too many apples:)  For a sweet treat, slice the apple up, sprinkle w/ Equal and cinnamon and microwave for 30 sec.  It's fabulous!

Use a cheese grater to shred the apples up and add it to pancake batter. Top with applesauce and some powdered sugar. That's a simplified version of my mom's amazing apple pancake recipe that she makes only on Christmas morning.

Apples keep for a long time if they are kept cool -- on a back porch or in the fridge. I eat one almost every day for an afternoon snack. Usually with a bit of Peanut Butter, sometimes with a slice of cheese, sometimes alone.

A really good, healthy desert is to bake them. You can choose to core them first or not. Add a bit of cinnamon if you like, and maybe a dash of brown sugar. Put them in a baking pan at med high heat until they are soft. A more decadent version of this is to do the same thing, but wrap them in a bit of pie dough or pastry dough before you bake them.

Depending on what kind of apple they are, you can cut up, cook and freeze them with their juices.  This works best with apples that hold their shape when cooked.  Great for pies and cobblers and scalloped apples.  Some apples go to mush when you cook them and these can be cooked down and frozen as applesauce. 

Have you tried a microwave "baked" apple?  The old Weight Watcher's classic is - core an apple without breaking through the bottom (or cut in in half and scoop out the seeds with a melon baller to make a cavity.)  Place in a dish and pour some diet soda over. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Microwave on high for a minute or two, depending on the microwave, until the apple is cooked.   It's fast and makes the house smell so good.

You can also do classic baked apple - stuff the cavities with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnmon.  Add a tiny dot of butter if desired.  Arrange in a baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick spray (or butter it) and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, until soft.

The perfect thing to serve with warm baked apple is warm vanilla sauce.  Make a really easy one with sugar free cook & serve pudding mix.  Use 1/4 cup more milk and cook until thickened.  Drizzle it over the apple. 

People always use applesauce in muffins to help keep them moist.  I would say make some low cal muffins (maybe use oatmeal instead of flour, and then add your apples , after you put them in the food processor ofcourse!)

I just made this apple crisp and it is VERY good!
