We always put unusable apples on the compost heap. Never had any trouble. Usable ones we cut up, remove the frass (the insect attakced bit) cook and puree and use the stuff for cooking.

I do too - unless our Labrador gets hold of them first - he loves to play with them and then eats them...Ugh!

Many thanks to Owdboggy and Spritzhenry for answering my apple question. Yes I am also using fallers for apple sauce etc. the freezer is now well stocked until 2050 I should think!
Is there anything labradors won't eat?
