Mini blog: apples
There are two apple trees on my grandparents' old farm. We had a very wet summer.
For those of you who may not have agricultural backgrounds, let me help you with the math.
2 apple trees X very wet summer = 9 bazillion apples.
So far my mother has frozen enough cobbler fillings to feed the entire country on the fourth of July. Tonight, I recommended she make some apple butter (which I LOVE and haven't had in ages.)
(If you don't know, apple butter is kind of like apple jelly. But not quite. It's AWESOME!)
And I'm looking up recipes for apple cakes and apple muffins and pretty much all things apple related.
So do you guys have any ideas?

Check cooks.com and search for apples. They have tons of ideas!
I second the apple sauce and apple cider. Homemade is soooo good.
Fried apple pies.
Those are good.
Yum! Apple butter! That stuff is amazing. :)
you could like substitute the apples for bananas in banana bread.
I quite enjoy apple pie :)
My family also has two apple trees! We got one last year and the one that was here when we bought the house looks stone age LOL :) The neighbour's cat sharpens her claws on the bark maybe that's why.
my family has an amazing recipe for applesauce/cinnamon applesauce that i will get for you once i get home from vacation! so keep an eye out for it! ^_^
we have it every fall. it's like tradition, along with pumpkin bread. haha

Apple Crisp is the best!! i made it for several school projects and it's always a hit!
I love apples and cinnamon in PANCAKES. So yummy. Although, there are only so many pancakes a girl can eat.
Apple Fritters.
It's like, deep fried apples, in batter.
I'm not sure of the whole thing.
But they're delicious.
Apple Dumplings
Apple Pie
Apple cider
There are so many things you can make with Apples!! So yummy !!
- Totally a Gallaghergirl
I have no idea. My family's big on tomatoes. Go figure. Apple pie!
apple pie
apple crisp
plain apples with cinnamon
apples and cinnamon with pancakes
apples with caramel
chocolate covered apples
Candy Bar-Stuffed Baked Apples(got it from food network site)
I'm surprised no one said this....but CARAMEL APPLES, or Candied. You can wrap a bunch up, give them out as gifts, or just save them.
Hey - English teacher here, first faculty meeting of the year...we're sitting in the back whispering about YA books, you came up...off to your site and blog...Ohhh! Fun topic! I grew up on an apple orchard - a few more than two trees actually.
What kind of apples might your mom be using? This early in the season I'd guess she might be working with Transparents (yellowish, waxy skin...pretty sour - best marinated in sugar! - not a good eating apple) Or if they are a greenish yellow, they might be Goldens (great eating later in the season) that you're using early (lots of sugar!) Or possibly Grannies...more info than you ever wanted!
Love apple butter (use lots of sugar and cinnamon - try mixing in some/not much mulling spice) Or cider making at Thanksgiving...makes me happy!
For great apple recipes Google the Washington State Apple Commission...Glad you're advertising apples - help pay off those college loans!
Speaking of college..."Go Cougs", although OSU will probably wipe the field with our sorry bodies in Seattle on Saturday...We've heard about "those Orange fans"...Ahh - fall football, life is good!
I like cut up apples on waffles, but maybe I'm just weird like that...
Apple ginger juice. Mm. Or apple ginger anything. Apple pancakes. Apples in crepes. Vanilla cinnamon cupcakes with apple frosting, or vice versa.
Apple...um...?
How about apple chips?
They are really good.
You slice them really thin, sprinkle cinnamon on them and fry them. (or saute, if you want to be healthier).
Yummy-yum!
Omg I am so jealous. I had apple donuts once and they were so yummy! I wish we had a bunch of apple trees in our backyard but all we got for the rain was a bunch of mud, which got on my favorite shoes today by the way. My school has like puddles all over the walkway and at the bottom of all the puddles is mud. Gross.
Oh. And you know what's so weird? I just realized I never wished your parents Happy Anniversary lol so Happy Anniversary!
hey, here's an idea. how bout eat them plain. that's pretty much the extent of what my family and i do with apples.
except for maybe apple pie and apple cider is AWESOME!! warm or cold!!
maybe there's a recipe for some type of apple cookie? that actually sounds good to me...
(then again, i am a very weird eater)
the other ideas sound sweet too!
callie
if you slice up apples and put them in top of marinated pork and bake them you get and amazing sweetish pork dinner.
two words for you Ally: apple pie. And send me some too! Please?
Lots and lots of apple butter. We make it every year with the family recipe. It is the best!
I would suggest something apple-related but sadly it is too hot in south mississippi to grow apple trees. Stupid heat. My grandma has a pear tree though and we went to pick some pears off of it just yesterday and my dad made me climb in the tree to shake it but there were ants in the tree and my head got stuck so you can only imagine how painful that was. But if you need to know how to jar apples with cinnamon, I'm your girl.
Yeah... everyones said just about everything i know about or have done. Theres not much left to make so just google it or go on cooks.com. OH! You could dice up the apples and put them in vanilla yougurt! Maybe, i don't know, just brainstorming.... good luck with the apples. Cant wait till gg3!!!

Also, mix some apple juice with other fruit juices if you get tired of just apple juice.

Candied apples?
I'm no cook. Honestly. I make a mean pot of of [boxed] macaroni & cheese...how's that for professional?
Apple butter, I've heard, is the best. Sounds delicious...even though I don't technically like apples.
~[s]he-who-must-not-be-named
I love candy apples! (corse these braces) foodnetwork.com has a whole bunch of cooks that have recipies for apples (I love alton browns work)Hope that helps :)
I second or third (or w/e number) the applesauce and apple crisp!!! Homemade really is the best!!! Also caramel apples...my favorite!!! I like candy apples too but I hate when it gets stuck in your teeth! But anyways, enjoy the apples!!=D
there's an apple butter festival in Grand Rapids Ohio
from what i can see, no one's said this yet:
quartered apples drizzled in honey
(simple. i know. but reallllly tasty)
MMM. Apple butter.
Darn it, Ally! Now I want to go to Pigeon Forge to get some.
Any chance you can go on a tour giving some out? ;-)
hahah. ooo apples. don't really like them especially. at least not for there being 9 gazillion of them. **shrugs shoulders** sorry.
I've had apple butter, it's REALLY good. I suggest :
Apple turnovers,
apple bread
Apple's deep fried and smothered in chocolate (That's kind of a joke but you can check it out if you want.)
Hi Ally,
I know this is VERY off topic, but did you hear what happened to Stephenie Meyer? It hurts my heart so very much. Someone whom Stephenie had given a rough draft of Midnight Sun to put it on the internet without her permission. :(
Go to her website to read about it.
Very sad,
Kate L. M.
Apple Crumb Cake.
Apple Strudel.
Apple turnovers.

Apple Dumplings! My mom used to make those for my siblings and me. (Apple dumplings are apples with pastry covering the outside and cinnamon and sugar inside. I love it.)
Plus home made apple cider is pretty dang good too!
Applesauce
Apples and calmel
Apple Cider
Apple Pie!!
Apple Apple APPLE APPLE!! That's a really awesome word if you say a bunch of times really fast. APPLE!
Sorry. . . where was I? Oh yes. Apples.
You should deffinitly make apple friters (I think thats how its spelt). Its so good. Its apple slices deepfried in like pancake batter.
I like mixing things like apples with brown sugar and cinnamon dipped in peanut butter. Its unusual but gooooooooood.
APPLE PIE RULES!
YUM!!!! I luv apple butter... ^_^
and cinnamon apples.... :)
Make apple sauce! It is so good! And you could make backed apples by putting brown sugar, raisins, and butter in the middle of them and cooking them for like 20 minutes! That is delicious too. you could try apple muffins! And apple butter is an absolute must!!
apple crisp!!
and i LOVE apple butter:)
The same thing happened to us. Haha I laugh just thinking about it. We have four apple trees and well let's just say my Mother has made so many apple pies I don't like thinkin about apple pies. I happen to be a big fan of apple pies so my Mother thinks it's a miracle I don't really like them anymore. Ooohh and I LOVE apple butter. YUMM!!
