They can be stored for months. They can be baked, dried, made into sauce, jam, butter, chutney and more. They can also be shared with friends and family or may be accepted as a donation to local food banks. Please contact your local food bank directly to make arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Show the kids where apples really come from.
