So many apples

We have a Bramley apple tree in our garden, which must be quite old as we've lived here for 27 years and it was here when we moved in. Despite its age it still produces lots of apples each year. And each year I struggle to use up all those apples.  They do at least  provide lots of food for the birds throughout the winter. As the apples fall to the ground, I collect any good ones and the rest are left for the birds.  The birds love rotting apples. The good apples left on the tree my husband picks.  We usually end up with several baskets of apples. Some are given away to friends, family  and neighbours, the rest we keep and I try to store them as best as I can.

I'm now at the stage of finding different ways of cooking these apples.
Sometimes I do baked apples. I core them and fill the centres with sultanas, raisins, currants and some syrup or honey. Yesterday I made an Apple Cake using a recipe from Greenside Up. This was easy to make and tasted yummy. I would recommend you try it.

I also made a Spiced Apple and Raisin Crumble based on a Delia Smith recipe but I adapted it slightly.  I put this in the freezer.

 Spiced apple and raisin crumble

Preheat the oven to gas mark 4 350F (180C)

1lb/11/2lb (450 gr)  Bramley apples, peeled and sliced
1oz (25g)soft brown sugar
 1/4  teaspoon cloves
1 level teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 oz (75g)  raisins
2 tablespoon water

Place the apples, raisins, sugar and spices in a dish, sprinkle with the water.

For the crumble topping:

6oz  (175 g)plain flour
3oz  (75g )butter
3oz ( 75g) soft brown sugar

Place the flour in a mixing bowl, add the butter and rub into the flour lightly, using your fingertips.  When it looks crumbly, add the sugar.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture all over the fruit in the dish.
Place the crumble dish in the centre of the oven and bake for about 40 mins or until the apples are cooked and the top is slightly brown.

Does anyone else have any good ways of using up apples?
