Autumn is apple extravaganza time.
Lately I have made
Apple crumble - I don't have a recipe, but something useful I did try and it worked; I froze the butter and then grated it into the flour. Instead of having to rub it in with my fingers and get messy at just the moment my kids needed me, I could just use a fork to sort of mush/mix the grated butter into the flour.
Stewed apple in the slow cooker - just cut up a bunch of apples, after you peeled and cored them (and cut out buggy bits, if you're a realist and don't mind using apples with those in, so long as you cut them out). I was using eating apples so I didn't add sugar. I just cut and cut and cut some more until the slow cooker was almost full and then cooked on high for a few hours or a bit longer on low, until it was yummy and mushy. You can add a splash of water to stop it sticking and get it going, but remember the apple will probably release a lot of moisture when it gets going. I've done it with cooking apples and added extra sugar. I've also use the cooked apples from this to make apple crumble. Means you're really warming through, browning top, rather than waiting for the apple to cook from scratch.
Apple pie jam -This will look horrid and messy, but I can't make blogger embed my links today, ad I'm running out of battery life and time to do it.

This may or may not be what I burnt my mouth n the other day, but it gates and smell yummy. Mine turned out a lot darker than the photos on there.

You can make crumble in a food processor if you don't want to get your fingers in . Works really well.
