I apologise if this has ben asked before but I have a glut of cooking apples and was wondering if anyone has any recipes for anything appley, and does anyone know the best way to stew and freeze? - cause mine always seems to go to slop ! - Thanks !!

In the Cooking section of the MEGA Index sticky (at the top of the forum listing) there are threads under "freezing" and also under "fruit" that will give you a good start, and there's also a recent thread on drying apples.

You're welcome.

I just peel and cut and freeze uncooked; chip them off in to a bowl and top with crumble topping (also usually premade and frozen!); the whole lot goes in to a medium oven till bubbling and then turn it up a bit to crisp up the top.

You might also try apple jelly, or chilli jelly which is basically flavoured apple jelly, or even cider. I can find some recipes for these, but most of them will probably be on Squeaky's index so have a look and if they aren't there pipe up!

There's always Apple Cheese if you're interested - takes 10lbs of apples to make

I too make this cake but I also add a bit of cinnamon about 1/2 teaspoon to the mix and also grate the apple as my fussy grandson prefers his apple grated and not sliced
I'm a soft old grandma really ,but he is a lovely lad

thats a good idea, I'm going to try your version next time I make it. I can smell the cinnamon cooking already!
