wtf can we do with hundreds of rotting apples

[weirdorjustme]

Our new house has two mature apples trees that has produced literally hundreds of apples, how are we supposed to get rid of them? They’re no good as now rotten

No use to you now, but for future years do please consider sharing them with neighbours, donating to a community pantry, seeing if there is a cider press near you or putting them on Olio. If you don't fancy picking them yourself you could specify that people need to pick them.

Oh I will definitely give the apples away, there is no way we would use all of them and it seems such a shame for them to go to waste. Most of the year the house was empty hence all the fallen fruit.
We have 4/5 foxes living around our garden and they haven’t touched them. I don’t see any birds or squirrels paying interest either

A friend has 3 trees in her back garden. She fills the garden waste bin up about 4 times - and that's after giving away as many as she can. She had them professionally pruned and got advice on thinning and that helped.

As to your current problem - I'd be seeing if there is garden waste disposal at your local tip.

Last year was a good year for tree fruit! Some years the weather at blossom time is really good for pollination - dry and sunny makes for good pollination rates. Wet, windy and cold does not! When the little apples start appearing you can pick some off, so if there is a cluster of four take off two or three. It's a time consuming job but the remaining fruit will develop much better and fewer fruit to deal with.

You can get your trees pruned but it has to be done gradually, with only a third maximum pruned off at once. It looks like it's a long time since yours were done, so it would be beneficial, as there can be damaged or diseased branches that should be removed. With a bit of pruning then fruit thinning, you should be able to keep it to manageable levels. If you can't find someone to do the pruning, you could tackle it yourself:
