Q: I am a school teacher and my district has recently implemented Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC). Though I love the idea behind this movement, more often than not I am stuck with a ton of leftover milk and fruit, especially red apples that even I can’t bear to eat due to their poor quality and flavor.

Do you have any suggestions for what I can do with them besides donating to a homeless shelter (which I already do)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Editor: While these apples might not be great to eat out of hand, there’s actually still a lot you can do with them.
