    you could pos donate some apples to schools. and if you ahve a child at school doing cookery you could barter with the teacher. ie the school provides the ingredients for free to your child ( Very MS ) and in exchange you bring wad loads of apples for the rest of the class.

    I once made a raised apple pie, with raisins and cinamon, laticed pastry top. Bit of a pain to make, but very good. Have since lost the receipe - anyone have one....or ideas on sweet raised pastry?

    How about baked apples stuffed with mincemeat....or failing that offer some of your surplus on the local Freecycle! (I have seen it here in London!)

    For apple sauce we just boil apples in a pan of water til softened, drain the water and then mash with a potato masher. Don't forget to add your sugar!

    Only takes about 15 minutes and goes great on the side of a pork chop sat on a bed of leeks and peppers.

    Very tasty, low fat + at least 2 portions of fruit and veg ! :)
    I was driving along yesterday, when I saw a sign saying 'Windfall Apples', help yourself'. So I took a load, and just made that apple sauce. highly recommended, especially as it was free.

    There are loads of eating apples at work that will only get thrown away if I don't take them. What can I do apart from the obvious?

    Oh and I am vegetarian...

    You need cooking apples for pies - they lose their shape when you cook them. Eating apples keep their shape.........so are perfect for tarte tatin.

    Hang on while I find a recipe...........try this.
