I just made crisp from Gravenstein apples, which grow well here in W. Washington and are my family's favorite cooking apple. It just seems to melt and has the best flavor. I wonder if pruning your trees and thinning the apples (they look like large trees, so that may be more work than you're into) would help them bear every year. Some fruit trees go dormant or biennial if the fruit is not thinned enough in a heavy-bearing year. Dunno, no expert but you could try it if you are a ladder person! Your recipes look yummy!

We didn't go out in the yard to pick apples in Illinois, but drove to a town with pick-your-orchards, coming home with a couple of bushels full of Golden Delicious and Rome Beauty each October. We ate some plain and made pies and crisps but the big favorite was Apple Dumplings with vanilla sauce. The orchards are gone now, and so are we. Your gingerbread sounds pretty good - might have to pick up some apples at the store and try it.

Invite 3 friends to help you go through a bushel of apples, and make 4 pies or crisps. Everyone gets to take one home! Whatever you make with it, turn it into a party.
