We picked a bushel or more of Granny Smith Apples today.
Got any ideas for me on how to use them?

Apple pie, apple streudle, and so on with apple desserts.

I don't have a recipe but I've often bought apple butter from the farmer's market and love it. Maybe someone can contribute a recipe if you're up to all the jarring and preserving.

pies, cakes, cookies, yeast breads, tarts, hand pies, baked apples, can some pie filling, apple butter, cook with sauerkraut and pork, etc.

Thanks for the ideas. I have a batch of applesauce going for Jon's Dad.
Then I will probably make some apple butter to can.
Im going to make some apple muffins tonight and then probabaly apple pie in a few days.

Here is the muffin recipe I am trying:
The Best Apple Pie Muffins Ever

SERVES 18

Topping
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Muffins
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups diced peeled firm tart apples (such as Spy, Granny Smith)
Note:.
cinnamon could be added to the batter ( about 1 teaspoon or less).

Topping: In a small bowl toss together sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon until crumbly; set aside.
Muffins: In a large bowl whisk together brown sugar, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, soda and salt.
Stir oil mixture into flour mixture alternately with buttermilk.
Fold in apples, mixing just until combined.
Spoon into greased muffin cups filling 3/4 full.
Sprinkle topping over evenly.
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back.

I made them. They are delish!
