I have two large apple trees and am not sure what to do with the fallen apples...I take some for the horses but I have tons of them. What is the best thing to do with them?

Hi San if ones a cooker you can stew them with blackberries, bake them with sultanas, make apple sauce, make and freeze apple pies, if eaters you may be able to store the clean ones have you tried stewing them too?, offer some to your neighbours great Pr? In the old days primary schools loved gift of eating apples but with H&S probably not allowed now.If you have lots you could try offering some on your local 'Free cycle? hope this helps?

Store some for the wildlife in the winter months,blackbirds love them on cold/snowy days

not only blackbirds but the redwing and fieldfare --- they are winter visitors from scandinavia belonging to the thrush family-- I look forwards to their coming
