Very grateful though! So good too that lots of people around here are using the apples again from the old trees they’re lucky enough to have – it used to frustrate me seeing them all going to waste and knowing so many people were buying those tiny plastic wrapped packets from the supermarket instead.

Your apple juice is lovely though, a brilliant thing to do with them. I also use apples lots in those oatie slices, the greengage ones that you made with damsons, another easy one. Look forward to hearing what you do with yours.

Just had another apple delivery from my mother-in-law last night and need to be creative on the apple from too. I made rhubarb crumble muffins earlier in the year and you’ve put the idea of apple crumble muffins into my head….

She never wasted a single thing. How tragic to hear that English apples are abundant when I have the choice of horrid ones all the way from the US, green tasteless from France or a tiny bag of 6 Waitrose apples for an extortionate amount of money!
