This might tie in with your basic bitch pumpkin spice need...

Instead of drying them all, take one small batch and preserve them in rum - with the pumpkin spices. (As long as these apples hold their texture)

On a cold dark day, make yourself a hot buttered rum , then garnish with a rum soaked apple and a cinnamon stick.

Or mulled apple cider ... you get the picture.... then, hopefully, we'll get the pictures.
