Apples???

carolwat

Ive aquired lots of apples and having peeled and sliced them all put them on to stew with water and sugar. Well I forgot about them and they have turned to mush What can I use them for now other than apple sauce. I still have more left so I will get some apple pies made with those so long as I dont forget them again but dont want to waste this pan full of apple puree.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I was brought up on puds of stewed apples from the tree in our garden. You can freeze them if you have room in your freezer, and eat them all year round until the next crop. Lovely with custard, cream or ice cream.

use them as toppings on puds, pancakes, ice cream-ah, someone's already said ice cream

make a microwave sponge pud and instead of golden syrup or jam, use the apple- 2oz sr flour, 2oz butter, 2 oz caster sugar, 1 egg- cream butter and sugar, beat in egg and flour- grease a pudding dish, about a half pint one, put the apples in the bottom, cover with sponge mixture, cover with cling film or a plate, zap on high power for 4 mins- delish!

Will be making that sponge when I get myself a pudding dish whatever that is

That flapjack sounds lovely. I normally make it with raisins but the apple will make a very nice change.

Thanks for the tips.

i've just made another sponge with homemade raspberry jam in the bottom that i made in my breadmaker, (got 2 kg of raspberries from farm shop for 85p a kg!)

It's so quick, addictive but oh the calories! i just use a small pyrex dish, just use whatever dish you want, needs to be about a 1/2 pint one though

apple puree can also be bottled using kilner or mason style jars.

The apple sponge was lovely so thanks for the recipe. It was so easy to make now I have bought myself a pudding dish

Im going to make the flapjack tomorrow hopefully. I have loads of puree ready to freeze with lots more apples waiting to be sorted.

Thanks for the tips.

glad you enjoyed it I made some plum jam that was a bit too runny to be jam so I just put that in the bottom of the dish and make plum sponge pudding because it's so quick and easy, it's very addictive so watch your waistline!

Funny you should mention the plums as I also have some of them and im about to puree those and freeze to make a plum sponge pudding another day. Ive got the pears on steaming now to do the same with. My freezer is going to be full of fruit
