Apple sauce could take care of several bushels. Don't bother peeling just wash carefully with soap and rinse (insecticides), remove bad spots and core. Simmer covered with a small amount of water and bit of salt. When apples are soft, press through an old fashioned metal colender -it looks like a upside down dunce cap with a handle, stand and wooden pestle. The advantage of not peeling the apples is that red apples will make a pink or orange colored sauce; besides it's easier and the peel will not go through the colender. Place in containers or freezer bags and freeze. Add cinnamon and sugar, if desired at serving time. I did seven bushels of apples this way one fall; I haven't really wanted to make apple sauce since but it worked.
According to the Farm Journal Complete Pie Cookbook, you can freeze both baked and unbaked apple pies. They also suggest that you add either 1 tbls. lemon jucie of 1/4 tsp. absorbic acid mixed with 1tblsp.water to unbaked apple pie filling to avoid darkening of the apples. The same recipe book suggests freezing the filling without the pastry. The directions were as follows:

Frozen Pie Filling
1 quart sliced apples (pears,peaches, blueberries,or pitted cherries)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp absorbic acid should be mixed into fruits that darken

Then combine with
3/4 to 1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp, salt
1 to 2 tblsp lemon juice
3 tblsp quick-cooking tapioca

Line 8 inch pie pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Let lining etend 6 inches beyond rim of pie pan. add pie filling and cover loosely foil lining. Freeze. When frozen firm, wrap with lining to cover completely and seal with freezer tape. Lable date and return to freezer.

To make pie with frozen filling unwrap, but do not thaw. place in pastry lined 9 inch pie pan. Dot with 1 1/2 tblsp. butter. Adjust top crust, cut vents and flut edges. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees) about 1 hr. or until juices on vents boil with thick bubles that do not burst.

Consider making mincemeat, apple butter or spiced apple rings if you don't mind canning. Some one may know how to make apple brandy. I know it can be done, but I don't have a clue as to how. Have fun with those apples.
