If you have a bunch of apples and dont know what to do with them, there are many options to consider. Here are some ideas from various sources:

• Make apple sauce: Peel and chop the apples, cook them in a pot with water and cinnamon, and puree them into apple sauce using an immersion blender, food processor, blender, or food mill. Serve immediately, refrigerate for up to 7 days, or freeze for 6-9 months.

• Bake with apples: There are many apple-based desserts to try, such as apple pie, apple cake, apple muffins, and apple turnovers.

• Make savory dishes with apples: Apples can be used in savory dishes as well, such as sheet-pan chicken with apple, fennel, and onion, pork chops with apples and cider, and sautéed apple slices with brown butter and onion.

• Dry or pickle apples: Thinly slice the apples, dip them in a solution of lemon juice and water to prevent browning, and dry them in the oven, on a wood stove, or in a dehydrator. Alternatively, pickle the apples for a tangy snack.

• Juice the apples: Use a juicer or press to make apple juice or cider.

• Store the apples: Store the apples in a cool, dark place with good ventilation, such as an unheated room in your basement, an unheated garage, or a screened-in porch. If storing outside of the fridge, individually wrap the apples in butcher paper, newsprint, or paper towels and then pile them in a cardboard or wooden box.

These are just a few ideas to get started. There are many more apple recipes to try, such as apple butter, apple-glazed pork chops, apple cheddar scones, and apple molasses upside-down cake.
