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.
Honestly, I think these would be a great idea to freeze for those days you just don't have time or don't feel good. The recipe states you can freeze them up to 2 months.
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.
