    Hi Little Miss Naughty,

    This older thread should give you lots of ideas. I've added your post to it to keep all the suggestions together.

    I have a few golden delicious which have gone wrinkly so aren't really ones I'd choose to bite into! However I'm thinking that they're good enough to cook but can't think what to make. My only thought is some sort of cake but I've only ever made apple cakes with cooking apples before so I'm not sure if it would work!

    Thanks :o

    I love apple cakes! Quite happy to use apples past their best and find that eating aples are fine for most recipes that you would normally use cooking apples for - you just might have to tweak the suagr a bit (I don't bother as i have a really sweet tooth, so don't mind!)

    I use up soft eating apples by peeling, chopping and then cooking them down a bit with some brown sugar, water, cinnamon and raisins.
    Then stir it into my porridge for breakfast ;)

    Hi Jane,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas for using up apples so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

    Hi

    My hubbie brought home loads of apples the other day. Does anyone have any ideas on how to use them up? Maybe chutney receipes etc?

    Thank you :rolleyes:

    Apple sauce perhaps. I'm waiting for some to be given to me by my parents then I can make up some more, I ran out of it in the freezer last month after cooking loads of it last autumn and freezing it in portion sizes. The receipe I got off here but just put in enough sugar to please my tastebuds.

    You could always have some frozen ready to make crumbles with come the colder months.
