Apples, anyone?

I went to an apple orchard festival with some friends today and left with a peck of apples. I got 17 apples in various varieties, including red delicious, golden delicious, winesap, granny smith, pink ladies, and Arkansas black apples. I am on a hunt for good apple recipes. I'd like to can something, preferably fried apples or apple butter. The rest, we can eat with peanut butter.

Today, I made "spicy" apple sauce. It was really easy!

4 apples (I used a mixed variety)
1 c. water
1/4-1/2 c. sugar (I used 1/4 c.)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
Secret: pepper

Just simmer everything for 15 minutes, then mash. Serve warm or cold.
