Dried apples
Dried apples make a delicious snack for the whole family, and they can be made in a few different ways. Take to the internet to find a method that works for you, but on the whole, peeling, coring, and slicing comes before using either a dehydrator or the oven to create this tasty snack!

Baked goods
There are countless amazing things you can bake to use up loads of fresh produce from the garden – the most obvious is probably apple pie, but strudel is a close second. Find a local bake sale to join in with and use your baking skills to make some money for charity!
