Not a recipe, just a useful idea for using the glut of [[Apples|apples]] you seem to get in the Autumn.
I have made [[Dried apple slices|dried apple slices]] as a way to use lots of apples but to be honest, you can only eat so many of them.
[[Freezing]] them was an idea my neighbour came up with and it seems rather good as in most cases, [[Frozen|frozen]] [[Apples|apples]] would still be fine for cooking.
Whilst there is a lot of fiddling about; peeling and trimming, the benefit is that you probably have organic [[Apples|apples]] if they have come from your garden. 
I was staggered to learn from a Kentish orchard owner that [[Apples|apples]] are sprayed once a week until they are picked!  That really can't be great for you.
