Yeah but I never do a thing with them. A neighbour asked if his wife could take a few for a crumble and then she brought us round some but that’s pretty much the most that’s ever happened. I just like watching it grow taller every year as I planted it when it was just a tiny little guy when we first moved to this house and now it’s pretty tall. I kind of deliberately let the apples fall off around the base and it ends up feeding itself.
Cooking apples, cannot get rid of them all. We give away as many as we can every year and bake like mad but the majority end up rotting. The tree is 100 years old, someone needs to tell it to chill out.
Yes, but cooking apples. We’ve made 27 crumbles over the course of September so far. Anyone who comes within 3m of the house gets a frozen crumble to take home with them.
Top 10 people doctors are afraid of
Make juice! You likely have a firm nearby that will press them for you.
Our garden is an old orchard with four apple trees. We are swamped!
lol yes but its only tiny and grows apples on one branch at the moment
Behold my delicious apple cake wot I made from my apples. Forgot to take a pic until it was half-eaten, also it was gluten-free for the win.
I came home with one of those Green containers Tesco usually uses for fresh veg full yesterday of windfall from the 3 trees I have on my plot (they are potted semi- dwarf stock. I sent the cookers off to be processed by a friend. Along with a bag of eaters, and kept the rest back to store.
I reckon there’s another two containers worth, plus my share of the community orchard to add a little more variety.
Many tree growers are saying its a Mast Year where trees are over producing…..
Our little tree went mental after a big prune in spring. Thought it would sulk for a year, but.. 8kg of fruit later and it’s still going. So much sauce. So much pie. I’ve never eaten this many apples 🍎
My old man does for the time being (moving) and it had some very nice looking apples on it, but some were a touch small.
Got a good crop coming this year. Potatoes, too.
Yes! This year was the first time I’ve gotten Apples after planting trees a while back, it’s amazing.
Yes, but between a big ant attack last year as well as a move, it’s basically a slightly leafy twig. Not one apple this year 😔
Stick em in a slow cooker with sugar. You can make a shitting of apple sauce, take it out at varying times for different levels of chunk. Add caramel and it’s caramel apple sauce!!
I got sent home with a rucksack full after a meeting the other day at a community centre.
Banging crumble.
I don’t want to alarm you, but that’s a sink there mate, not a tree.
Can’t argue with it’s produce though, my sink only has mushrooms and fingerprint stains because the wife insisted on the brushed steel look and some inferior silicon.
I’ve planted 18 since moving into our house 👀 I’m going to be severely overwhelmed in 10 years time. This year my neighbour is giving me a hand making cider for the first time! I’m a beer drinker rather than cider, and a lot of the varieties I’ve planted can be used for cider.
A lot of the rest are storable for a few months if you do it properly!
We have a large apple tree. We must get 20kg-30kg kilos, minimum, every year. Eating apples.
I have a press which I bought maybe 8 years ago sitting in the basement, unopened in its original box.
Every year we get more than I can be arsed with.
I didn’t even know Apple sold trees
I’m staring at my trees wishing I didn’t have as many apples. I’ve had 125kg before. They all get turned into cider though.
I’m actually jealous, we have two apple trees and had afannyfuckintastic yield of a grand total of 4 apples! Yes, 4! Not 5! Not 3! 4!!! And they all came from the same tree!!
I made jam out of mine. Just had so many, had to be creative on how to consume lol.
I have two. Luckily one isn’t doing so well (very small fruits and not really growing much/ripening)… I’ve made spicy apple chutney, apple cake, apple pie, apple tarte tatin, apple scones, frozen multiple portions of stewed apples for crumble, frozen sliced apples. I’ve given a few away but not a lot since most of them have got codling moth and didn’t want to give my friends/neighbours “surprises” in their apples. I still have a few in my fridge which I’m eating every other day. Some still going on the tree which is not doing so well, will probably make more tarte tatin with them since their tartness went well with all the sugar
I would highly recommend making cider. You can do it with near zero kit and it gets through a good chunk of the apples. Ingredients: apple juice, yeast! That’s it! One decent tree of apples turns into 10L of (free) cider each year with enough apples left for chutneys and pies and whatever else you want. Very few apples end up going to waste
My dad owns a quince tree
Buy a juicer. Juice them and make lovely fresh apple juice. A shopping bag full will make about 1.5ltr. If not keen on apple juice try cider, or apple and pear cordial (surely there is someone with a pear tree you can swap with)
But it’s a handy way of getting rid of them, juicing them gets rid of much more than eating.
Also remember to keep the pulp and add it to your compost heap.
We own one tree. Last year we had a good crop. This year 3 apples – they were very large and juicy. We live on an estate built 6 years ago, the developer planted lots of crab apple trees on the grass opposite our house. One tree has decided it wants to produce proper apples this year though so I have about 20 of these beauties
