what do i do with 5 bajillion apples

apple sauce, apple crisp are done and done. apple pie is on the agenda. any other ideas?

 

candied apples. mmm.

 

apple chips are good....but it takes a long time in a dehydrator

 

spare a couple to hit with baseball bats

 

oh man. or apple dumplings.
I don't know how easy of a recipe that would be to find; I haven't had these since I was really little, plus I don't know how common of a thing it is.
but they are the best.

 

apple turnovers, strudel, fritters, baked with butter and cinnamon and brown sugar, apple pancakes, waffles, muffins, add to cornbread stuffing.

 

Juice em. Apple Juice. Or hot apple cider with cinnamon.

 

use them as throw away pipes; man I wish I had a ton of apples not to use as pipes, but they are deloush.

 

applejack booze..

 

My Grandma made THEE best apple dumplings. It was my brothers favorite thing in the world. She used those red hots candies as part of the syrup. I found a similar recipe on the net:


APPLE DUMPLINGS
4 c. flour
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. shortening
1/2 c. cold water
1 egg
1 tbsp. vinegar

Mix flour, shortening, sugar and salt until crumbly. Beat egg in 1/2 cup cold water and tablespoon of vinegar. Combine both mixtures and mix well. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes before rolling out. Use as needed, as dough can be kept several days in refrigerator and can also be frozen.

SYRUP:

2 c. water
2 c. sugar
1 pkg. red hots
1 stick butter
Heat until red hots are melted. Roll dough out and cut into 3x3 inch squares. Fill each square with peeled and sliced apples, folding dough around apple slices and placing with folded side down in large casserole pan. Pour sugar mixture over dumplings and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

 

And Canadian Late Harvest Riesling: Cave Spring "Indian Summer" would be a marriage made in heaven.
