How to finisht them off? Too mealy to enjoy eating raw. Too mushy for a pie? Homemade applesauce?

I've got six of them left.

Oh just send them over to me, I will gobble them up

You can make some apple crumbles I have used delicious apples for this, though some firmer, tarter apples are supposed to be better for the recipe, but it turned out just fine, they are delicious with some custard, whipped cream or good vanilla ice cream!

don't listen to alix, or you might start a war 'bug.

lol, sir isaac mudbug,

HH is one of the peaceful natives, bucky, so I don't think I will rile him much. And I am probably going to make Andy's apple cake tonight as a gift to the village.

Made your apple square recipe (sorry, NOT cake) last night. Everyone loved it, and HH thinks it makes a perfect breakfast food for on the road.

Another good one from Mr. Andy!

Thanks a lot, mudbug. I'm glad you liked it

I had that at my sister's home one day and liked it. I asked for the recipe and was surprised how easy it is to make.

Way easy. And I bet this could be adapted to decent apples, blackberries, blueberries, peaches - you get the idea.

Hmmm, blueberries! I like that idea.

I'm thinkin' when we go back to the Outer Banks this summer that I'm gonna get one of those big bags of peaches they sell by the side of the road and crank this one out again...and again....and again....

It's really hard to get ripe juicy peaches areound here. They're usually hard as a rock. If I could, I'd mkae this recipe with peaches, too.

How about bartlett pears?

Sounds really good, Andy, but I'm hopeless at selecting pears at the peak of ripeness (same for avocados).
