Hello again and now need recipes using apples! apple turnovers would be nice! I already fry apples so do not need one for that?apple pie,anything that uses apples would be nice thank you! Rita

Here's one for my favorite fruit bread. I've been itching to make it again as I had a bumper apple crop this year.

Apple Bread

4 cups apples, peeled, cored and chopped (I didn't peel)
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. pure almond extract
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 c. all purpose flour
2 c. granulated white sugar

Topping:

3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
6 tbsp. butter, room temperature

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease two 9x5 inch bread loaf pans and set aside. Chop apples into 1 inch chunks. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the oil and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Beat until thoroughly mixed. Next, add the flour and sugar and mix on low just to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat until mixture is smooth. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the chopped apples, mixing by hand so the apples don't get too broken up. Divide the mixture between the two pans. Since the batter is so thick, it is easiest to spoon the batter into the pans. To prepare the topping, combine flour, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture with a fork until all ingredients are moist and crumbly. If you don't mind a little mess, it is faster to use your hands. Sprinkle equal amounts of topping on each loaf. Bake for about 1 hour on the center rack of the oven. The loaf should feel fairly firm when touched in the middle, or cook an extra 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pans. It is easier to slice the bread if you can wait until it is cool.

If it was me I wouldn't add more sugar, even though you are using granny smith apples. The apple bread seems to have plenty of sugar to compensate and even tart apples work well with the muffin recipe.

Weezie...add a dash of ground cloves to your baked apples next time...it is really GOOD!!!
Also, for easy baked apples ...buy prepared puff pastry and fix your apples as Weezie does to bake them...but wrap in the puff pastry...I also add a bit of lemon juice.

I have been making Apple Dumplins lately, and man they sure are good.

This recipe here works good.

I found a good easy recipe that uses 6 pounds of apples. I had a bunch of apples that were wrinkling so I needed to use them fast. I think because they were wrinkled and drying, I ended up with 5 pints instead of 2 after 2 1/2 hours, so I added more spices at the end to make up the difference. The apples were plenty sweet, though, so I didn't need to add any more sugar.
