Make them into cider, or apple sauce and/or apple butter. And maybe a little bit into apple pie filling.

Cider! Both sweet and hard. And then make some of the hard into brandy.

Apple butter is the way to go!

Make a bunch of pies and freeze them. Nothing like apple pie all year round.

Core, peel and quarter them, then can them in honey/water syrup. You can use these for pies, tarts, or mash them, syrup and all for ‘instant’ applesauce in the future.

I like to peel and slice gallons worth, they get dipped in a lemon water bath drained and frozen on cookie sheets then put in freezer bags. Then you’ll look like a goddamn apple pie or crisp wizard when you can just whip out a bag a perfectly prepared slices. I do the same process for gallons of small diced apples with the skin on for oatmeal. Well worth the effort.

Crockpot apple butter isn’t the solution for ALL your apples but is a nice one because it requires minimal processing and minimal fussing over as it cooks. I think you can even leave the skin on? Just cut the core out while cutting the apple into chunks.

I peel slice season stew and can or freeze. Then I eat a couple big spoonfuls with my morning yogurt all winter long.

If I find myself some apples, they are used primarily for fresh eating. Whatever isn’t eaten fresh gets ground, pressed, and fermented into hard cider.

Are you in a drought zone right now? I noticed that the apple trees do fantastic in drought years but the next years they’re lower production to recover.

We’ve done it all: applesauce, soft cider, hard cider, dehydrated slices, pie filling both canned and frozen, and apple cider vinegar. I suppose my favorite is canned pie filling.
Our apple tree looks like that, too — heavy branches touching the ground.
