Apple droppings are the apples that drop from apple trees. These can be found in orchards, sometimes cheaper than those you would pick from the trees. You may have a neighbor who lets you pick them up off their lawn for free. Or they may be given away at food cupboards. No matter how you acquire them, there are ways to use them up, even though they may not look perfect.
- Make homemade applesauce by peeling and coring the apples, and adding them to a pot with water. Heat at a medium temperature, and keep adding water until you get the consistency you prefer: With chunks or without. Eat warm or cooled: As is, with cinnamon or over ice cream.
- Dice and add the apples to homemade muffins or breads.
- Chop them and add them to pancake, crepe or waffle batter.
- Make mini crisps or cobblers.
- Freeze to use later.
- Use the apples to top cold cereal, or in hot oatmeal.
Cut the bad parts off the apples and core. You can peel if desired, but it is not necessary. Use the apple portions in your favorite recipes.
