Recipe What do I do with red apples?

[Barry Natchitoches]

Ok, ladies, I am only a man - which means I don’t have the skills and cooking talents you ladies have. I CAN boil water without burning it, so I am not hopeless.

But the Farmers to Families program provided me with 27 pounds worth of red delicious type apples.

I can only eat a few of them raw. I was thinking about cooking some of them. Maybe a nice and easy recipe that even a man can handle.

Do you folks have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a lady but here's some ideas.
Eat some, store some in a cool dark place.
While these are not the best cooking apples...
Apple sauce, apple butter
Apple pie
Dehydrate

You can literally microwave or bake them Individually. I prefer to cut them in half and remove the seeds. Add Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener is choice. Bake or microwave till soft.
It's a crustless apple pie.

If I had all those nice apples I would peal, core, cut in bite size chunks, put in large sauce pan, add sugar and cinnamon to taste, a very slight amt of water, cook until just tender and sauced, cool in frig, fill jars 2" from top, and freeze your delicious chunky, cinnamony, slightly sweet applesauce in the freezer for soul soothing comfort this winter.

Go to www.allrecipes.com and search for "red delicious apple recipes"...

Not every recipe will turn out well using Delicious apples... they tend to be a bit bland and sweet compared to cooking apple varieties. But they'll certainly be edible.

My FIL loved baked apples. He would core them, and place in a baking dish. One at a time, or ever how many he wanted. After coring them, he would add butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar to the inside, then bake until soft. I don't know the exact amount on the ingredients or the oven temp that he used, though.

BTW, caution, caution, caution . . . . hot apples are hotter than hot pizza and will burn your lips off

Apple Sliced Snacks
Core and slice the apples up.
Dip in water with lemon juice added.(keep from discoloring)
Don't need to peel unless you want to.
Sprinkle with either Cinnamon, or ginger, or cardomin, or cloves or apple pie spice.
Cinnamon is my favorite.
Dehydrate and store in Glass jars with tight seals.
Store in cool cellar.
Can last a year but usually they get eaten up before the first 6 months.

Baking a chicken? Add some chopped apple. Baking some turkey breast or legs? Add some chopped apple.

One year a friend gave us a huge amount of apples(they were going to throw them away!). Way too many for us to eat. We froze a few to use in pies and cobbler but dried the rest. Ended up with a lot of dried apples. So I ground them up in the blender and added them to almost everything that I baked. Made everything more moist. Really worked great in bread.

When I was a young lad of 6 or 7, many years ago, my granddad and I would sit on his porch.
Each with our pen knives and a shaker of salt and contemplate just about anything.

A little salt on apples gives a great taste

fried apples are good also. Baked apples with some butter, cinnamon are excellent also

Cure for Tapeworm.

Tapeworm Therapy
A man had a tapeworm and went to the doctor to get it removed. The doctor said, "I know exactly what to do, come back next week and bring me an apple and a lemon cookie." So the man did this. He gave the apple and the lemon cookie to the doctor. The doctor told the man to drop his pants and bend over. First, he shoved the apple up the man's bottom and then waited a minute. Then, he shoved the lemon cookie up his butt and told him he was finished but come back next week with an apple and a lemon cookie.



The man did this. Once again, the doctor told him to drop his pants and bend over. He inserted the apple, waited a minute, inserted the lemon cookie and then informed the man that he was finished but come back next week with an apple and a lemon cookie. The man began looking noticeably frustrated.



The next week, the man reluctantly showed up with the apple and the lemon cookie. The doctor did the exact same thing, and when he was finished the man said, "Hold up, this treatment is NOT working! The tapeworm is still in there and if I can be perfectly honest, I am getting pretty ****ing tired of shoving apples and lemon cookies up my ass!" The doctor said, "Not to worry, next week will be your final treatment, bring me an apple and a hammer." The man glared at him, worried that he was going to shove that hammer up his ass.



The next week rolled around and the man did what he was told once again. The doctor told him to drop his pants. The doctor inserted the apple. Waited a minute. Waited another minute. During the third minute, the tapeworm stuck his head out of the man's butthole and said, "Hey, where is my lemon cookie?" Before the worm had a chance to retreat, the doctor smashed its head in with the hammer.
