Bright Lady!!!!!! I would LOVE to have 37 pounds of apples!!!!!  The 
first thing that comes to mind is apple butter.  Basically--boil apples, 
cider and sugar together until it forms a wonderful brown sauce.  Like 
applesauce but much, much better.  Keeps wonderfully well when canned.  
Add cinnamon for a more well rounded flavor.
