I bought a bushel of apples yesterday for a pan of apple crisp...yeah I know...I went overboard. I always go overboard when it comes to apples. I bought Cortland, Washington Strawberry, new Gala, and Mutsu. I made pan of apple crisp last night, have another in progress right now. But I need to use more of the apples! I don't do pies because I suck at making pie crusts. So....anyone have a good apple recipe? I'll post pics here and forward a little gift if I make YOUR recipe!

Here you go!  I made this recipe page for a recipe page swap here on the board, years ago!  Thought I had posted it, but I guess not, so here it is now.  This is what I always do with my apples...easiest, yummiest recipe, ever!  Let me know if you can't read it.

I use a 9x13 inch pyrex pan to bake these, but I put it on a cookie sheet, in case it bubbles over!   If you like your dumplings less "gooey," make the syrup with 1.5 cups of sugar and 1.5 cups of water.

lol...you sound so much like me! I am also swimming in apples. Here is a recipe I tried last night
.http://chocolatechocolateandmore.com/20 ... ple-sauce/
I put the apples in the Crock Pot for 8 hours just like it says...My apples stayed pretty chunky, so before I mushed them into applesauce I made caramel apple sundaes with them still warm from the Crock Pot. Ice cream. caramel sauce, warm spiced apples, whipped cream. Everyone loved them!

I like to chop them up and put them in oatmeal, great hot breakfast!

Apples cut up in just about anything is good. I really do love apples.  My kids won't eat oatmeal though. They don't know what they're missing, as far as I"m concerned! lol

Oh.....yummy!!  I thought maybe apples off your trees??????

I am jealous....completely jealous!  I haven't had a off the tree apple to eat in 46 years!!  Yay....I was 8 years old and still remember!  You sure you want to move to Texas!?????

I have to find the crust recipe for my mother's pie....it's so easy and never doesn't work!  In other words if your apple pie doesn't work after using this crust it ain't the crust!!!

I've tried this one from the Pioneer Woman
2 Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
cinnamon
1 small can of Mountain Dew
Peel and core apples.  Cut apples into 8 slices each.  Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll.  Pace in a 9x13 buttered pan.  Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir.  Add vanilla, stir and pour over apples,.  Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.  Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauce from the pan over the top

These all sound awesome! Right now I"m making apple pie muffins. It called for buttermilk, which I don't have. I knew I could make a substitute with milk and lemon, but no lemon in the house! And I know vinegar works too, but again, no vinegar in the house! Thank goodness for google, because I discovered you can make a buttermilk substitute with 1 cup milk and 1/2 tablespoon of cream of tartar! Now cream of tartar IS in my cupboard! So...muffins are being made right now. I ended up with 4 pint jars of applesauce..they are in the freezer. So far the total is....1 extra large pan of apple crisp (gone already lol), 4 loaves of zucchini bread, 1 large and 8 mini loaves of banana bread. Plus the apple pie muffins and some apple turnovers are in process too. I want to definitely try the blond brownies and a couple of others in this thread. Thanks everyone!

I just did some.  Just cored them and sliced with those hand tools that do that all in one (not the big fancy one).   Used Gala and the skins are thin.  Then just added cinnamon, nutmeg, a touch of sugar, a touch of lemon juice and cooked them til they were soft.  Put in Ball jars and froze half of them and are eating the rest now.
