what can you make with apples?

We proles got our Lunar New Year's gift of apples and pears again! Normally, I eat a few fruits and make apple pies with the rest, but this year, the gifts came early (on February 2; Lunar New Year this year is February 10), and I want to make something more. My thoughts so far:

• apple pie (as per usual)
• apple fritters
• apple sauce

What else? Leave your ideas in the comments. (E.g., something with apples and pork.)
