I made apple crisp stuffed apples, a few pans of apple slices, bourbon caramel apple ice cream and the girls and I have been eating apples for snack all week. They are actually the perfect size for the snacks for the little ones without having any leftover. I was looking at the bowl on Friday and realized we still had a couple dozen apples left. I wanted to make sure that we used them all up before they went bad. While trying to think of the best…
