We have a garden swimming with apples, cooking apples, cox apples, pears and raspberries.

What can i do with all my apples? other than apple pie and crumble?

Is it possible to make apple juice with a normal mixer or do I need a proper presser??

Apple crunch. Give you recipe later if you want. (Bit tipsy so you may end up with apple sauce)

I think you need a presser, otherwise it will be apple slurry!

I have a recipe for west country apple cake if you would like? I found it after trying to find something to do with all last years apples, and it is divine

Just had a delve through my "Country Kitchen" magazines and found 14 recipes for apples:

Choose from Apple Sauce
Baked apple pudding
Apple pancakes
Apple dumplings
Apple tart
Baked apples
Baked apples with berries
Chestnut and apple stuffing
Toffee apple pudding
Tinkers cake
Nottingham apple pudding

And a huge section on how to juice apples.

Fancy the sound of any of those?

Re juicing it says "don't be fooled into thinking that all you need is a press.." - you need to crush them first. Conveniently, they have an advert for both a crusher and a press

Have a good one for cooking apples which my kids absolutely love.

peel apple, core, fill the middle with a mix raisins, cinnamon and sugar. Lump of butter on the top. Place in a dish with a bit of water. Place in oven gasmark 5, ready when soft. You can either serve on its own or with custard, icecream, or toffee sauce

We will be eating this for weeks as we have loads of apples, pears and blackberries.

tarte tartin is also nice- upside down apple pie

Oh yes recipes for - west country apple cake, nottingham apple cake sounds good.

I would give apples to my neighbours but they all have apple trees .

Think I might have to invest in a apple crusher/juicer as we have so many. How long would the juice last?

these are the people who advertised in Country Kitchen Not sure how long the juice would last just kept int he fridge, but the article suggests keeping plastic milk cartons so you can freeze the juice in it.

West Country Apple Cake
450g (1lb) Cooking Apples, peeled, cored and chopped
225g (8oz) Plain Flour
175g (6oz) Dark Soft Brown Sugar
110g (4oz) Butter
2 Eggs, beaten
3-4 tbsp Milk
1 tbsp Clear Honey, warmed slightly
1 tbsp Light Demerara Sugar
1 tsp Ground Mixed Spice
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
2 tsp Baking Powder
Pre-heat oven to 170°C: 325°F: Gas 3.
Grease a deep 18 cm (7 inch) round cake tin, line with buttered greaseproof paper.
Cream together the butter, sugar, until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, a little at a time, beating constantly.
Sieve the flour, spice and baking powder.
Add to the mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Fold in the apples and enough milk to produce a soft dropping consistency.
Pour into the prepared cake tin.
Bake for 1½ hours until well risen and firm to the touch.
Turn out on to a wire rack to cool.
When cold, brush with honey and sprinkle with demerara sugar.

Because I used eating apples I cut down the sugar to 4oz btw.

The Nottingham apple pudding is listed in "Ye Old Peculiars" recipe page, from days gone by. It sounds really easy and rather yummy:

Peel six good apples; take out the cores with the point of a small knife, but be sure to leave the apples whole; fill up where the core was with sugar, place in a pie dish, and pour ove rhtem a nice light batter; bake them an hour in a moderate oven.

I would take the batter to be a basic sponge. Plus I might be tempted to use less sugar!
