Recipe Ideas for Using Dried Apples

So we found a local orchard last summer and, in a fit of insanity, I bought 50 lbs of apples. (Did I mention I had a toddler and was pregnant at the time??? LOL) I turned most of it into applesauce and apple butter, but made about 4 gallons of dried apple slices. I'm looking for any of your ideas about using up the rest of these dried apples. So far we've used them in oatmeal and muffins, as well as eating by themselves. But I could sure use some more variety. Thanks!

What can I do next?

You can rehydrate them to make things like apple pies of apple cakes. You soak one cup of apples in 1.5 cups of water for an hour and half.

I have used dried apples to stuff pork chops too. I cut the apple rings into smaller bits. Cooked it in a bit of apple juice to rehydrate it. I cooked up come bacon and chopped it up. Added the bacon some sage, garlic and a bit of lemon juice. I cut a pocket into some thick sliced pork chops and filled them with the stuffing. Used a toothpick to hold it closed. Seared the meat in a skillet and then baked in the oven until it was cooked. I don't have exact measurements or cooking time, it was something I kind of through together. I am sure I based it on another stuffed pork chop recipe I had on hand. My mother in law thought it would have been great if I added some dried cherries to the apples as well.

It would be good in curry. Whenever I make curry homeade (or the jar from trader joes) I usually add some raisins or dried apricots, but apples would work to. They add a nice sweetness to off-set the spice.
That's not going to get rid of 4 gallons...but...it's good!

Stuffing/dressing. You can make your own or add them into a box style!
