Does anybody have any really good apple dessert recipes?

My boss brought me about 30 pounds of apples this morning. I figure I really need to make something or I will never use all of these! I'm a good cook, but my family doesn't really care for cooked apples so I really don't make anything like that. Whatever I make, I want to make my boss some too, so it needs to be good - but not too difficult. I'm really hoping for recipes that have been tried and are loved - not just any old thing from a recipe site. That, I could do myself. THANKS!Does anybody have any really good apple dessert recipes?

She also made an apple salad.





Chopped apples(with skins), sliced bananas, mini marshmallows, mix with miracle whip %26amp; about a tablespoon of sugar. She had no ';real'; recipe for this, just as much of each as you like. The miracle whip was added so that it was about the same as a potato salad consistency.





You can always do apple sauce as well as fried apples.

Here's a really easy, but delicious, recipe. I made it last week and am making it again today. You'll love it and you can make one for yourself and one to give to your boss!

Don't worry about making the homemade crust; use refrigerated crust from the grocery store. It works just as well and is much easier!

You will find this answer in previously asked questions. I just asked this a couple weeks back.
drizzle some balsamic vinegar with some cinnamon and bake them in the oven for half hour
fruit salads





use fresh apples as regular salad topping





if you have a slow cooker, you can make apple butter which is fantastic





but if they don't like them cooked, there aren't really many options i can think of. i was going to suggest baked apples, which is just taking the core out the apple, stab it with a fork a few times, add cinnamon and brown sugar and nutmeg, then cover it it with pillsberry roll dough, sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar on the outside, and bake at 350





*edit: i should note that apple butter is really easy. you cut the apples, throw them in a slow cooker with a bit of apple cider vinegar (not even 1/3 cup), some sugar, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, etc. cook it on high for about 3 or 4 hours, then cook it on low overnight (8-9 hours i guess) . this pretty much makes apple sauce. then you take out the apples, mush them up (or use a blender), pour them back into the slow cooker for another 4 hours and you're done. you can season to taste. might want to get an official recipe if you need exact measurements. then i would offer the apple butter right back to my boss.





i think ambrosia is make with apples





you can also make apple cider. or use the apples for really good chicken salad. or bury them and use it as an opportunity to teach your kids about how plants/trees grow.
Omg, this recipe is soooo good!





Spicy Apple Twists





Ingredients


2 large baking apples, peeled, cored


1 1/2 cups Pillsbury BEST(R) All Purpose, Unbleached or Self Rising Flour*


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup shortening


4 tablespoons cold water, or as needed


1 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened


1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted


1/2 cup sugar


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 cup water





Directions


Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, blend flour and salt. With pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle flour mixture with water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fork until dough is just moist enough to hold together. Shape dough into ball.


On floured surface, roll dough lightly from center to edge into 12-inch square. Spread with 1 tablespoon softened margarine. Fold 2 sides to center. Roll to 16x10-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 16 (10-inch) strips. Wrap 1 strip around each apple wedge. Place 1/2 inch apart in ungreased 13x9-inch pan.


Brush each wrapped apple wedge with melted margarine. In small bowl, blend sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over wrapped apples.


Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Pour water into pan. Bake an additional 12 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon sauce in pan over twists. Serve warm or cool, plain or with whipped cream.
*APPLE CAKE*





Butter, for greasing pan


2 cups sugar


3 eggs


1 1/2 cups vegetable oil


1/4 cup orange juice


3 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


1 tablespoon vanilla extract


3 cups peeled and finely chopped apples


1 cup shredded coconut


1 cup chopped pecans


Sauce:


1/2 cup (1 stick) butter


1 cup sugar


1/2 cup buttermilk


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


Directions


Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a tube pan.





For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold apples, coconut, and pecans into batter.





Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.





Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let stand 1 hour, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
