And lots of apple pie filling for the freezer. And apple sauce. And shoveled a lot of 'windfalls' onto the mulch pile to be eaten by deer later...I am beginning to hate apples. And this is only the third variety to be dealt with.
Our apples are not yet ripe, although green apples can be used for pies. We have a friend who has a cider press, so we press the apples we can't use otherwise.
We dry any excess apples which can be done quite quickly / successfully outside at next no cost . I made quite a nice A P when we had visitors for lunch recently
