Parrots and apples

Good news! There is going to be a glut of apples this year in the UK, and they are going to be available a good month early due to the unusually warm and dry conditions we experienced in spring, which happened to favour our local orchards.
So, let’s make good use of the knock-down prices, and all buy English apples this summer! Almost all parrots love fresh, crunchy, sweet apple, but how can we make best use of the glut, so that our parrots can benefit right through the winter months?
On the forum of this website, I have posted the same question. Please let us have your ideas for parrot-friendly recipes that we can make, bake and freeze, so we can buy in bulk, and save money on food bills for our parrots in the months to come.
