I make apple pies and freeze them, I cook some and leave some raw, they make a handy treat when unexpected company shows up.
Canned apples and apple sauce. Pies, apple crisp, baked apples (can be done quickly in the microwave).

I'm not an artificial sugar kind of gal, but the Readers Digest this month has some apple recipes that lookgood. One is kind of an upside down apple cake or pie, I forget which, gonna try that for sure! We picked apples a couple weeks ago, time to get some of them into recipes and/or frozen.

well, this is more of a breakfast food. You make regular oatmeal, cut and peel an apple, add some cinnimon, some craisons, and cook them as you are making the oat meal. it is really good and pretty healthy..
I love these suggestions. Keep em coming. The kids love one recipe I make:
Eat with pork chops and have creamed corn on the side.
Chop apples in medium size pieces (pie size)
Grease baking dish. Add apples. Season with cinnamin, cloves, raisins and drizzle honey overtop with a littlebit of butter - sprinkle with brown sugar - splash of vanilla (or extract). Lots and lots of cinnamin. They say it is like apple pie without the crust - and makes a great side dish (instead of applesauce). Not the healthiest but very tasty.
Really you could also use pears in this recipe - mix and match with whatever is in the cupboard.
Feel free to post your recipes in this thread for all to share
This recipe looks long, but it's not hard.
Apple Streusel Cheesecake (make day before you want to serve)
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Crust: 1/2 cup softened butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup flour
Cream butter and sugar together, blend in flour. Press onto bottom and 1/2 inch up the side of a greased 9" springform pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes til light golden. (it will bake more later with filling)
Filling: three apples (I use Macs or Spartans)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons milk or cream
Peel and core apples, cut into 1/3" slices. In a frying pan, melt the butter and sugar, add apple slices. Cook the apples for three to five minutes until they are tender and getting light brown. Add the milk, and cook another five minutes.
Set aside to cool.
1 package (brick) Philly cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Beat cream cheese with sugar, add eggs one at a time. Then beat in sour cream and lemon juice.
Using a slotted spoon, put the apples onto the crust, cover with cheese mixture.
Steusel topping: 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup softened butter
Mix til crumbly (I use a pastry blender). Sprinkle on top of filling.
Bake 45 minutes til centre is set. I turn off the oven and leave it in a while longer (sheesh, I never have written down how long.... 10 min maybe; always worried so cheesecake isn't runny... ?sorry)
Cool at room temperature, then chill overnight.
To serve, release springform side, slice and enjoy! :love2:
My favourite apple snack is:
Peel and slice 1 or 2 apples. Put them in a bowl and add lots of cinnamon, a tiny dab of butter, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Put in the microwave for 1 and a half minutes. Enjoy.
Mmmm it's so tasty!
Mmm apples some great ideas thanks everyone :)
