    Cathy, tried out the apple sauce in the slowcooker and it has a lovely consistency, let alone that smell with the orange! Heaven! BUT it was very sweet for me.

    I did use tart apples but I suppose orange juice varies in it's sweetness and when I make sauce, I don't add any sugar.

    I think next time, I'll use this recipe and I'd leave out the sugar and try it with some cinnamon. Ooh - I'm just imagining an even more heavenly, spicy, Christmassy smell :D
    Many thanks

    How about freezing some stewed apples to use in the winter? This is what I've started to do with the glut of my cooking apples, especially now my neighbours & I have them coming out of our ears! :)
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    no these apples should be fine for a crumble you just wont need so much sugar on them

    you can peel and slice them into water with some lemon juice if you have, to keep them white while you peel them all, then take them out and put enough for a crumble in freezer bags and pop in the freezer, they will keep for a good while

    Salt water keeps them white as well and makes no difference to the taste when you have cooked them.

    We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

    I have loads of apples ready to come off of my tree. They are eating apples not baking apples although they are still a bit tart. Anyone got any ideas apart from usual crumble, stewed apples, baked apples etc. Thanks in advance.

    I make Apple Scone... just add chopped apples to your ordinary scone mix before adding the liqued, then when it has been kneaded shape into a large round on a baking tray , then lightly score with a knife into slices and brush with milk, sprinkle with brown sugar and bake... its soooooooo delicious....
