I have a cooking/recipe question regarding apples:

My sister-in-law gave me a rather large crate of apples last week. They’re mostly Red Delicious...except they’re not all that delicious. They have some apple flavor, but they’re not that juicy and slightly mealy.

I have made apple cake out of them, and that seems to work pretty well. But, I am looking for other possible recipes for them.

Any recipes out there you’d recommend?

I don’t have a lot of experience with apples, but Red Delicious is one I would consider as an ‘eating’ apple.

If you have a whole lot of them and want to preserve them, apple sauce was the first thing that came to my mind; and if I had a bunch which would go bad before being eaten raw, I’d probably dehydrate them. Perhaps someone else has more experience, but here’s an interesting article/experiment with different apples:
