Delicious Recipes to Make with Apples That Are Going Bad
Apple Pie
Apple pie is a classic dessert that can be made with apples that are going bad. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into thin slices. Place the slices in a bowl and mix with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Grease a 9-inch pie plate and line it with one of the pastry crusts. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and top with the other pastry crust. Crimp the edges together and cut several slits in the top for steam to escape. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Apple Crisp
Apple crisp is another delicious way to use up apples that are going bad. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes. Place the cubes in a greased 8×8 inch baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples in the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Apple Sauce
Apple sauce is an easy way to use up apples that are going bad. Start by peeling and coring the apples, then cutting them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until apples are soft. Mash the apples with a potato masher or blend in a food processor until desired consistency is reached. Add sugar or spices if desired.
