Apples can be canned, juiced, and/or fermented to produce apple
juice, cider, vinegar, and pectin. Distilled apple cider
produces the spirits applejack and Calvados. Apples are an
important ingredient in many winter desserts, for example apple
pie, apple crumble and apple cake. They are often eaten baked or
stewed, and they can also be dried and eaten or re-consitituted
(soaked in water, alcohol or some other liquid) for later use.
Pureed apples are generally known as apple sauce. Apples are
also made into apple butter and apple jelly. They are also used
cooked in meat dishes.
