I'm making:

Apple cobbler
Apple turnovers
Apple sauce


Any ideas? Because I have 20 pounds left, and me and my dog can only eat so many during the rest of the week.

OMG! I love apple season. I make pie for days! We're going today and I'm SO excited!

Ok, yes I am an apple picking dork. Anyway, do you have a dehydrator or just a nice long day make apple chips, they are wicked yummy!

I make apple crisp for days. Love it. Pie (give to neighbors and relatives, they'll love it) Put up some apple butter, it's awesome on muffins, biscuits, pork chops etc.

One of my fave snacks is just apple slices and vanilla yogurt. Yum!

Apple butter?
Apple jelly?
Those I would think would allow you to use up a good amount of the apples.

My mom makes an apple torte (its more like a cake) but it doesn't use many apples in the recipe. Its only a cup but it is really good. I like apple crisp too :love:

Apple kuchen (either yeast-raised or the more tender cake variety).
Apple custard loaf
Deep dish apple custard pie

I'd say butter, but you're making applesauce, so it would be a bit repetitive.
I'd try an apple and vanilla bean jam, though.
I was going to suggest apple dumplings, but kind of repetitive with the turnovers.

Oh. I am jealous! Have fun. I don't know if you already did, but applesauce will freeze great.

Apple sauce and apple butter are two very different things to my family. Apple sauce is just apples cooked down and pureed and is pale yellow. Apple butter is like a dark brown/orange jam that is made with spices and we eat it on biscuits and pancakes. We would never do that with apple sauce. Apple sauce we eat as a side dish. I freeze it in little cups and pack it in a cooler for picnics. It thaws by the time you eat and it's great.

Apple butter is applesauce that is cooked down further and more heavily spiced (the sweetness varies since I've done unsweetened except for the apple cider we used to cook it). They're both apple purées that you can use for the same purposes. I've served pork belly with apple butter that we also used on a cheese plate and to serve breads with, as well as a charcuterie plate. That one was fairly sweet and spiced with licorice sticks and a few other spices. The no sugar added one cooked down in apple cider was used to make a delicious apple date pound cake and as layer under a chestnut mousse dessert amuse. I've used applesauce in cakes and bars. Sometimes the applesauce is honey sweetened, sometimes accented with lemon zest and thyme, sometimes spiced with star anise and cinnamon. Sometimes the apples for applesauce were roasted for a deep caramelized flavor and dark color.
So, I wouldn't necessarily do both unless I was planning to sell or something, because I find them pretty interchangeable.
An apple jam at least has a slightly different texture and isn't as easy to buy, especially if you add interesting flavors, like apple and juniper jam, for example, so that's why I would go with that as a way to use up a lot of apples.
If you like doing both, that's your choice of course. I just see a bit differently so I put in my two cents.

I would cook the rest of them into an apple-sauce (with apple cider instead of water, and no spices), but not cook it all the way down, leaving it fairly chunky. I'd freeze it in quart ziplock bags to be thawed and used for whatever you want in the future.

When I make plain applesauce I actually add maybe just one tablespoon of water and cover the pot tightly (plastic wrap) so they cook in their own liquid. No extra liquid needed.

I would like to order 1 apple pie, 8 apple turnovers and 2 apple cobblers please. You can freeze them and mail them to me on dry ice.

curlyarca

Thanks for the suggestions. No photos unfortunately, but everything came out really tasty. I'll make something else tomorrow, 3 things in one day was a lot of work in the kitchen for me! And i didn't even get to prepping my lunch tomorrow, boo.
