I made this simple recipe today and omg is it good!!!! I only skipped the Mountain Dew, didn't have any ..........but it was still sooooo good.

we went apple picking yesterday so the baking has begun!

We went apple picking over the weekend, so I'm right there with you! We bought 3 bushels, which is I guess about 30lbs. of apples. Yikes!
I have a dehydrator going with apple slices, a crock pot cooking apple sauce, and a caramel apple cake in the fridge. (it's the one out of the newest food network magazine, and it is super yummy)
I made the mountain dew dumplings last year, and we loved them! I had completely forgotten about them until you posted the recipe. Thanks for the reminder!!
What are you baking?
I think I'm going to make some apple bread to freeze, and probably can some apple pie filling, but I don't know what else.
I wonder if you can freeze apple pie unbaked, or if the apples get all wonky if frozen with out being processed first?

I have an apple crisp in the oven right now! It was a recipe that someone posted on another dis thread.

I would love any apple recipes you can share - especially the applesauce (preferably crockpot) and the apple cake.

I'll let you know how the crisp comes out!

oh that caramel apple cake sounds good, I will have to check food network for that recipe! I want to make applesauce, pie, crisp, and more of these crescent roll dumplings, I think I am addicted already!!

yes let us know how the crisp comes out, I love apple crisp.

here is a recipe I found on allrecipes.com that sounds pretty good, I had a baked apple pancake at a restaurant once and it was sooooo good

Also picked apples this past weekend, 50 lbs to be exact. So far I have made Apple cake and apple crisp. So yummy! Will have to try the dumplings.

This! I would love to try a crockpot applesauce too.

I printed out the dumplings recipe and plan to try to it this weekend. Sounds like I'd better start a diet before I eat them though.

I have Ball's Blue Book - Guide to Preserving

for Pie Apples it gives this:

Place apple slices in boiling water 2 minutes and cool in ice water. Drain. Pack apples into plastic freezer bags, plasstic freezer jars or plastic freezer containers. Seal, label and freeze.

I haven't personally used that recipe yet but everything I've tried from the Ball book has been good.

yes let us know how the crisp comes out, I love apple crisp.

The apple crisp came out GREAT! I had to use a yellow cake mix instead of white because the cake mix inner bag had a hole in it, and I was afraid to use it. I used Cortland applies.

I don't really have a recipe, just kind of eye ball it, but this should be close and you could just add things to taste.
I just put about 20 apples (I used gala, macs, and golden delicious), 1/2 cup of brown sugar (you could use white, we just like the taste of brown), some cinnamon (maybe 2 tsps.), and about 1/2 cup of water (I use apple or orange juice). Sometimes I add a little pumpkin pie spice too.
I use the thing that peels, slices, and cores the apples all at once, the one with the handle that you crank. Then I just stick all the ingredients into the crockpot, toss to coat apples, and cook it on low for about 8 hours.
As a bonus it makes your house smell wonderful all day!
You could also easily cut the amounts in half if you don't want a whole pot full of applesauce.

I've made this recipe before and it's really good, but how did you skip the Mountain Dew? What did you use as a liquid?

Wow I'm trying this "low calorie" recipe this weekend!

 

[maslex]

MMMMM, just took these out of the oven and they are GOOOOOOD!!!!! I just wish I had some vanilla ice cream to go with it....A must try!!!

I wonder if you can freeze apple pie unbaked, or if the apples get all wonky if frozen with out being processed first?

I have fully baked an apple pie, let it cool to set up, then cut into individual slices and froze. Then I thaw and reheat in the oven since I prefer warm apple pie

extra melted butter, LOL..........I didn't substitute anything, it was sugary and gooey after baking, I don't know what it is like with the mountain dew, I will try it with the soda next time.
but they were so good anyway, it didn't matter, they were eaten here by everyone within the hour! LOL
