Do you have a dehydrator? My mom got H and I one for Christmas one year and literally the only thing we do with it is make apple chips. But the kids love them, they are super easy, you can make a ton at once and they stay good, they make the house smell great, and they are great addition to gifts.

When covid first started and they were delivering meals every day, it was almost always apples. At one point we had something like 30 apples, and making apple chips blew through the stash easily.

No dehydrator but i should look at one

pie, turnovers, dumplings, crisp, compote, applesauce, butter.
And save the scraps to make apple cider vinegar

I was thinking a crisp but I may look at dumplings now

angelashly,
how many actual pounds of apples did you get?
We'd always start with applesauce an apple crisp then a pie
But when I had hundreds of pounds of apples on my trees
I'd do apple butter in the crockpot
and you can make up an apple pie mix but freeze it
the trick is to layer aluminum foil in a pie pan
fill it like you are filling a pie crust
freeze and then lift out the premade pie
so when you want pie you get a crust
and slide your frozen filling right in there
either let it sit out til apples aren't fully frozen anymroe
or add about 5-8 minutes to your pie bake time

[AmyG]

We should start a new thread.
Cause it actually is fall now isn't it?
Of course the weather decided we needed another week over 105degrees

I myself will eat an apple and peanut butter every morning but my family not so much

I just use my oven at the lowest temperature and it works fine.

[piratecat]

I also love apple butter.

[hawkward]

Y’ALL.

We finally (two year wait) got H’s disability finalized. 100% lifetime disability. This is lifechanging for H. I can’t even right now.

I normally am with your H and not a huge fan of pork chops or anything, but this recipe for pork loin and apples might be worth a shot. I use whatever apples I have on hand, and I like to add more than the recipe calls for, but that's just personal preference.

*****************

2 ½ lb. pork tenderloin

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme

2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

1 tbsp. butter

1 cup apple cider, divided

2 large or 3 small tart green apples ( I sometimes use other kinds) peeled, cored & sliced

2 tbsp. honey

2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar



Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse pork and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and coat on all sides with herbs. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet. Add pork and cook over medium-high heat until well browned on all sides. Add ¾ cup cider to skillet and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add apples to the skillet. Stir together remaining

¼ cup cider, honey and vinegar; pour over pork. Place skillet in oven and cook for 20 to25 minutes more or until pork reaches 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

See how low your oven goes, some you can dry fruit in.
Otherwise applesauce

I made the mistake of sautéing purple carrots with shrimp and it all turned into the most disgusting green poop color. It was tasty but we had to dim the lights way down. 😒😅🙃

[sweptaway]

hawkward that is amazing news!!!

[sweptaway]

angelashly omg I would bake all the things.
Muffins, apple fritters, oatmeal. Crumb cake. You could make pie filling and freeze it for for later.
I'm itching to do some fall baking!

[beepers]

hawkward 💕👏🏻

We’ve been making apple nachos as an afterschool snack- I slice up apples, drizzle over peanut butter, sprinkle on chocolate and butterscotch chips. The boys have been loving them and we’re flying through apples.

Oh we do this too. So good

[gingy]

DS picked his weight in apples at a local farm. We did a big-ass crisp, muffins, and crock pot cinnamon apples. And we still have probably 2-3lb left. He likes me to cut them with the crinkle cutter to make apple “fries” to dip in caramel.

My one years olds favorite way to eat apples is to chew them up and then spit them out. Maybe he would actually swallow them if I do this.

So happy for you, hawkward. I used to work for SSD and it was....yeah. I wasn't happy with the process at all. Probably why I didn't last.

[GhoatMonket]

hawkward that is great!

This thread tricked me into yard work yesterday. I was dripping in sweat within minutes and I barely made a dent in the leaves.
Hurry up Fall! 87* is just rude and I really need to paint my back steps without melting.

The leftovers look even worse today. It's as if I purposely made it grotesque for a Halloween-themed meal. 

[Rusty Red]

Yard work. Nope. Shan't.

I do have to get someone to come out and pick up all the cut down branches in my back yard though.
