What can I do with cooking apples?

Question

We have an apple tree in our garden, cooking apples to be precise. every year on bank holiday monday we pick them. (so we pick them today), and we use them for the usual apple crumble, and apple pie etc. but this year we'd like to do something different with them as we waste many of them. (there's a limit to how many apple pies we can eat!) so apart from making pies, crumble and cider what else can we make?

Answer 1

Applesauce!   And then freeze it in freezer storage bags, plastic tupperware, or can it.  You can also make an apple pie filling by cooking the apples with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch for thickening and can or freeze it also.  This works great for quick apple crisp, pie, or dumplings and ice cream, out of season.  You probably have enough for a whole year.  Good luck and get cooking.

Answer 2

Apple butter, apple jelly, applesauce, apple slices, all of which can be home canned and water-bath processed and stored on the shelf for later use.

Apple Butter, Sugar Free Crock Pot

Another Graham Kerr wonder! From his cookbook "Simply Splenda". In his words, "This is dense, thick and dark brown, just like my grandmother made. The apple peels are left on to add pectin."

**** Cooks Note: Apple butter can be used in baking - can replace up to 1/2 of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients. You may need to reduce sugar in recipes since the apple butter is already sweetened.

64 servings, 2 pints

time to make ½ day 30 min prep

4 lbs cooking apples, washed, UNPEELED, cored and cut into quarters (12 cups, try MacIntosh, Jonagold, Northern Spy or Gravenstein)

½ cup Splenda granular sweetener

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pinch cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1. Slice apples into a crock pot. Cook on low until they're very soft, 4-5 hours.

2. Remove from crock pot & press soft apples through a sieve to remove the peels. Stir in the Splenda, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Return mixture to crock pot and cook another 3-4 hours on low setting. (mixture should reduce to about 4 cups).

3. Spoon into clean jars (those cute little half-pint jelly jars would be perfect),leaving an inch of headroom. Cover with lids & freeze the jars that you want to use later. Store thawed apple butter in the refrigerator.

4. Note: for oven prep, cook apples for 2 hours on 350°F After sieving & adding spices and Splenda, return to oven for another hour.

5. Serving size listed is 1 tablespoon.

Answer 8

I'm in the same boat you are! lol, So far, I've made, apple cider, apple sauce, apple jelly, and apple butter, and I also canned some stewed apples as well. I'm running out of ideas myself lol. But I didn't notice you didn't have any jelly's listed or Apple butter, those are some great things to make that keeps for months, sometimes up to a couple years.

Good Luck!

Answer 9

I use apples as a sweet side dish for certain meals. Slice them and stew with sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg. It tastes yummy with grilled or roasted chicken + a saltier side dish (mashed potatoes, mac+cheese, etc.)  

Answer 10

Apple Pancake

2 tart cooking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch slices

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 eggs, beaten and room temperature

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour or bread flour*

1/2 cup milk, room temperature

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

7 tablespoons butter

* Bread four is a high-protein flour. The high protein helps the pancake rise. All-purpose flour may be use, but the results won't be as spectacular.

Preheat oven to 425° F. Place oven rack on the middle rack of your oven.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, flour, milk, and vanilla extract; beat until batter is smooth (the batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy); set aside.

In a large heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast-iron skillet (I like to use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet) over medium heat, melt butter, tilting pan to cover sides. Add apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Stir and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes to slightly cook the apple slices; remove from heat.





Pour prepared batter over apples into baking pan. Place pan in preheated oven and bake approximately 20 minutes or until puffed above sides of the pan and lightly browned (it may puff irregularly in the center); remove from oven.

Remove pancake from the baking pan by flipping upside down onto a serving platter (apples and cinnamon will be on top). Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate. To serve, cut into serving-size wedges and transfer to individual serving plates.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.

Answer 11

Apple French Toast

In between 2 slices of bread put thinly sliced pieces of apples dipped in cinnamon. Add vanilla extract to your egg mixture, dip the whole thing in and cook it up. Also, in a seperate small pan, add butter, brown sugar and apples, you can use this to top the french toast and sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. This is such a good hearty breakfast!!!
