What to do with windfall apples

[blue22]

I have moved to a house with lots of apple trees, and of course therefore have lots of rotting apples on the lawn!! What's the best way to dispose of them? I haven't got round to setting up a compost heap yet and am worried about them attracting rodents! TIA

Set up a compost heap - even if all you do is rake the apples into one big heap, or make a circle with some chicken wire and chuck them in there, they make fabulous compost. Worms love them.

Or bag them up and put them outside on the pavement with a sign saying 'free windfall apples - excellent for your compost bin'.

Rake them up a bit carefully as there will probably be wasps around

I think you can make apple juice from windfalls too.
