Autumn brings us an abundance of juicy apples – but what to do with them all?
Many varieties can be stored to enjoy over winter, while all apples may be processed into truly tasty treats.
In this short video we show you how to store apples safely and how to make deliciously chewy apple rings and fresh, homemade apple juice.

Brilliant advice, thank you!
I didn't know about the lemon juice preventing coloring, thanks for the tip.
Stored a ton of apples this year, and all the bruised, bad or wormy ones were still good for drying.
Also I chop up apples and freeze them in portions for apple strudel 🙂
Apples are the best 🙂
We have loads of apple trees in upstate ny, they store well in a refrigerator but space is an issue. I make hand pies, frozen apple purée…enjoyed all your ideas too!
Applesauce! I grew up with a Golden Delicious tree in our backyard. Home made applesauce was a staple in our home served regularly at dinner and is way better than anything you can buy at the store. It freezes well and can be processed in large quantities.
Great video and info, thank you!
Lovely stuff. Thanks, guys.
I am making applesauce this afternoon! What great timing for this video. Ill have to make some apple rings too! Thanks for the idea 🙂
Using a solar oven for the drying process is a great way to free up your oven, while saving on energy. Run out of sun for the day? A quality oven allows you to seal foods inside overnight to try again the next day. Scorching food in a solar oven is pretty much impossible as well. I made bread in there, leaving it for a couple hours past completion. Someone also once gave me a peeler with a crank. Push the fruit on, turn the crank, and it will be peeled, or turned into a sliced apple "slinky", or both! Easy to finish making the slices after it's a slinky. Makes it fun for the kids. 😉
Apple crisp and Apple pie freezes well too. I like to freeze serving sizes so don't have to unthaw the whole dessert.
What a wholesome chap, I wish he'd juice my apples. . .
Thanks for all the good ideas.
FYI
I bought my eyeglasses through Zenni Optical online only $58. When I bought from an optician the same were $300! I'm getting blue frames next time. Your daughter and wife made a good choice.
I have pumpkins to keep for Halloween and they've just turned what's the best way to keep them and store them
I just made apple butter for the first time – delicious. Canned 7 jars for self and gifts. Will definitely make more and recommend for toast, and alongside cheese and biscuits, or for baking with. Ideal if you have a slow cooker or an AGA.
I love using apples with the berry mix and making a nice crisp for the family to enjoy! Really loved all your ideas on storing and how you store them correctly!
thanks a lot for sharing, very kind of you and useful indeed.
Do you have any experience with drying the apples in a conservatory or in the air, instead of the oven?
If the frost has kissed the apples, can they still be harvested and used?
We foraged a few late summer kilos from the tree opposite our home with all the neighbours and made sauces and chutney. It was so satisfying to make them, as it wouldn't have lasted the winter, our cellar is not cold to store long. Will try apple chips next year. But our apples were not that good, some had worms in them.
Using newspaper for planting containers is pretty smart, thanks!
I miss eating apples. Im Keto now, and can't have them because of the high sugar content. Thanks for the education. I will be using some of your suggestions. I have many family and friends that will love the dehydrated apples, and apple juice..
I love your videos! This year I tried for the first time to make Apple Syrup, by cooking down apples, straining them with a jelly bag overnight, and then cooking the juice down until it became thick. It is fantastic over yogurt, pancakes, and ice cream!!!
Merci!
Just an add on…
Yo Alice tour Apples for dehydrating, instead of cutting them with a knife, use your revolving tool, from the beginning of your video, pull away the peeler and slice and core. Take the sliced still round apple and slice vertically thru. You will get perfect slices in no time!
Cooking damage enzymes and photochemical,peels are healthy fibers probiotics if organic ,harvested from ur own home apple trees.Safe energy by drying in glass rooms or under sun light as dehydrators use a lot of energy.Used dehydrator all time till asked by a young intellegent doctor ,how much energy are you using?that was the end of not using dehydrators for drying mints,apple slices,tomatoes,use sun shine .Thank you .
* All of the apple scraps (except the seeds) can be used to make jelly. Just follow a recipe and replace the amount of apples called for with your scraps.
* Another use is a natural vinegar. There numerous tutorials on the internet on how to do this.
* Finally, you can toss the scraps into a bucket and top them off with water. Cover the bucket with a cloth to keep out insects and let it ferment for a week. Strain out the solids for your compost pile and mix the liquid in with your normal watering schedule to feed the micro-fauna in your garden.
I just stumbled upon this channel, I’ve never really worked on a garden but listening to you talk about it makes me want you. You’re energy is amazing sir you’ve just uplifted my day, thank you!
I love all of your videos! So happy to have found this channel. I’ve been canning apples for years and I think having apple pie filling spiced and ready to pour up into pie crusts to bake is a great time saver and also a fun way to store apples. I’ve added bourbon for a boozy apple dessert for clients, but my favorite is a standard apple pie filling served warm with vanilla ice cream or in crêpes!
Greetings from upstate NY. I also make fruit leather. I love your channel, please keep it up.
I STORE MINE IN CLAY POTS BURIED IN THE GROUND STILL GOOD IN MARCH
