Whoa, Apples!

Homemade applesauce is the way to go and it tastes great! Try to keep a lot available to be eaten each day....apples are one of the "perfect food" fruits. I know microwaving was mentioned, but unless you're completely pressed for time, try not to cook them in a microwave. Microwave cooking wipes out about 80% of the nutrients. My son did an experiment in school a couple of years ago. Everyone brought in two seeds, 2 little pots and the teacher provided the soil. The pots were prepared with soil and the first seed was planted in one pot. The second seed was microwaved for 20 seconds and then planted. Not one of the microwave seeds ever grew....not one! They even added miracle gro to the pots with the microwaved seeds, still nothing. Every seed that was not microwaved sprouted and grew, even without Miracle Gro. But 20 seconds in the microwave rendered the seeds useless. Just something to think about the next time you go to use your microwave.

my family loves home made apple sauce...just cut up the apples into small chunks (they cook faster that way) add cinnamon to taste and there you go. i have never frozen it, but i imagine if you put in ziploc bags, it would be just fine. enjoy!

Try applesauce. It's so easy, just cook the apples down to the consistency you like for applesauce and add a little cinnamon. I like to make mine a little on the chunky side. I have always wanted to try making apple butter, but it takes a lot of time. You could give that a try if you like.

You can make and can applesauce. I am sorry that is all I can think of for preserving them. Apples taste really good cooked with pork chops.

Apple sauce is the easiest. I cook the apples in the microwave with a little bit of sugar and water and then when they are soft just mash them up and freeze. You can also make a keep them in slices cook them up with some sugar freeze them and then use them warmed up over ice cream. What about making dried apples? I never did it but if you have a dehydrater or know someone that does that is another way to use them up. My family loves baked apples. I just core the apple and peel it and then put a little bit of butter and brown sugar over it and cook it until soft in the microwave.

I have been doing thesame thing and it realy helps.I have put alot of food in the freezer and still have two bags of okra and greens to work up,but have not had time yet i have been working a lot.ut will get it done tonight.

-Dehydrate some. These would make wonderful snacks for later. -Make meatloaves that incorporate the apples. These can easily be frozen and reheated later. -Can apple chutney. -Use them for apple juice. -Make and can apple sauce.
