Something I learned about preserving apples. . .
You can freeze them! I'm so excited to find this out. Am I the last to know this method? If I knew, I have totally forgotten. You can find instructions at Freezing Apples.
I've canned apple pie filling, and canned apple sauce, but never froze any. I'm keeping these instructions, in case I need to do this. We do not have a root cellar. A fridge will keep apples only so long, so I'm sharing this today for those who did not know.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes (Lemon and Zest recipe online). It makes 8, and I used 2 small apples from our trees. It calls for one apple, but I'm dwindling down in supply.
I have found an apple pie (actually several) in one of my pie cookbooks I have.

I have always froze my apple pie filling and cherry pie filling as well. Turns out wonderfully.
God bless.
Apple cinnamon pancakes are one of our favorite fall/winter breakfasts. I put chopped walnuts or pecans in ours. When I was a teacher's aide in a Kindergarten classroom, the teacher I worked with told me about putting apples and nuts in pancakes. I've also made them with pears.
I'll be interested in what you think of the frozen apples. I wish I had a bigger freezer! Fruit anything is such a treat, especially in winter. My daughter adds apple slices to her baked oatmeal.
Jackie, that is good to know. I have just canned apple pie filling.
Leigh, I put apples in our crock pot slow cooked steel cut oats too. It will be an interesting trial.
Debi, that is a great idea with pears. Our trees did not have any pears (that we have seen, could have been taken by deer) this year. I will have to remember that. We do like the apples in ours. I will have to add some nuts next time. Thanks.
I freeze them in slices to add with onions on top of pork chops, yummy!
Nancy, I was just thinking about making us pork chops with apples too. I will now have to freeze some for that. Sounds delicious.
