Ideas for Cooking apples
Options
Hello,
I have a lot of cooking apples coming ripe in the garden.
So far I have been chopping them in half, then microwaving them in the skins for about 5 minutes, then the apple is mush and easy to separate. I then just serve as is with a few grapes to balance out the slightly sour flavor.
But there are loads of them! - I have children too - so need ideas on how to get through them without putting everyone off them for life!
Thanks
Richard

I bake 'em
Per Apple:
1.5 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp butter
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Slice apples and put in an oven-safe bowl. I keep the skin on.
Pour mixture over and bake at 350 for 20-30 min.
I like to serve mine with vanilla pudding. Yum! Had it for breakfast this morning actually.0 -
My kids absolutely love cinnamon apples... peel and chop, put in a skillet with either cooking spray (low fat) or a TBS of real butter (our fav option, and you don't need more than that), cinnamon and a touch of sugar (to taste) and let simmer on low for a while... serve warm over grilled pork chops, or use as a stuffing pork chops, or add some oats to the top and throw in the oven for a bit. They eat them like that all the time!0

For a pretty dessert!:
Line cupcake tins with small circle of pie dough, thinly slice apples and layer them like a little rose (little apple "petals), put a pecan or walnut piece in center, sprinkle with cinnamon, maple syrup, orange or lemon juice, and maybe a lil brown sugar. Bake, serve over ice cream,0 -
I like to chop them into chunks (not too small), add some extra firm tofu, cinnamon, maple syrup, and raisins and then cook it all on the stove for a little while until the apples are soft. It's delicious.0

Our local grocery store has a great Organic Chicken Apple Sausage. I take it out of the casings and cook it in a little bit of butter with slices of apple & onion with cinnamon and either a little bit of maple syrup or honey.
I generally serve it with some Quinoa with cinnamon and a bit of syrup or honey too. Sometimes I add some dried cranberries or walnuts.0 -
I have a similar issue, I make apple butter, apples in oatmeal, apple muffins, apple crumbles, apple sauce, apple chips in the dehydrator.I hope to get a juicer sometime to make apple juice. Hope this helps.0

I peel them, cut them ready for fillings (pies, etc) then freeze them.... then I always have some for whatever is on the menu. :happy:0

I make a cheesecake which involves turning them into pie filling and pouring a cheesecake filling on top.0

Apple crumble or apple and blackberry crumble if you have blackberries. Apple and most berries will make a nice crumble0

Apple chutney i use this recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/spicedapplechutney_7720
And then give it away for Christmas presents!0 -
Okay, it only uses one, but it's not as obvious. Apple and celery soup. 1 cooking apple, 1 head of celery, and rest as normal (I fry off 1 onion/carrot/herbs/spices as I'm feeling it on the day), add in chopped up peeled apple and chopped celery + stock, simmer and blend.
I've heard of apple and parsnip, but not tried it yet. - I would follow a similar approach.0 -

I can make soup - so this I have to try - I hadn't thought of using them in savory dishes.0
