Apples...

KZOsMommy

ok I need some healthy apple recipes. My mother in law was so kind and brought us some fresh picked apples and I have so many there is no way we can eat them all before they go bad.

Thank you in advance :flowerforyou:

Haven't tried this but I just saw it in cooking light...

Cut the skin off the top half, core it almost completely but leave the bottom on, fill with a little bit of butter, brown sugar, and walnuts... it didn't give measurements but it said bake for 1 hour at 400 I think? May be kind of an experiment but you have lots of apple to experiment with! lol Good luck...

just make applesauce. peel and cut them into chunks, put them in a pot with the cover on and a low flame. stir every ten minutes or so so they don't burn on the bottom. i usually throw in a few scraps of the peel for color. when it's as cooked down as you want it ( I prefer it chunky) take it off the flame and let it cool. I always add a generous amount of cinnamon, but nothing else. You can use a mix of variety's if you have them. If you like apples i think you'll enjoy this.
