    Ooh I was in the same boat a couple of days ago- we get apples and pears in our organic veg box and there's always a few left over.
    I peeled and cored them, melted some butter (1oz), added some brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinema and stewed them for about 5-6 mins... then, you can just have it with ice cream, custard, make a crumble topping, have it on it's own... whatever!

    Hi Sarahlou,

    There are lots of ideas on these threads

    What To Do With Apples?

    Pears

    There's also an earlier thread on using up apples and pears so I'll add your thread to it to keep the replies together.
