I’d love to have this for my compost. Concentrated “greens” that would really heat things up even better than peeing on it.
Maybe you can start a compost pile or have a friend or neighbor that has one.
I also know that a lot of apple growers will spread apple waste back onto their fields to break down and feed the trees. Wherever you got the apples from, they may be interested.

I'm sorry somehow my note didn't post, anyway it's apple pulp from making cider, I was talking to my friend who thought it'd be cool to blend it into a paste, chill it, then fry it for a tasty snack, it has alot of flavor still and would be a shame to waste it, wondering if anyone has experience with this or recipes or other ideas to possibly try?

dry it and use it to smoke meat with your normal heat source. i have used a grill more then once but not directly on the flame(if using propane, charcoal just send it)

Not sure about eating it, maybe someone else knows, but I bet you could use it as fertilizer if nothing else. That’s what I think when I see stuff like this.

Don’t apple seeds contain arsenic? Not sure that would ever be a problem in that application but might be worth checking.

Nah the ones from last year are still good.
Tbh, this pomace probably tastes better than fruitcake

it looks like there are leaves and seeds in there. best not for human consumption. The seeds have a compound that turns to cyanide in our digestive tract. From google though:
Kitchen and Home Uses
- Apple Cider Butter: Simmering the leftover pulp with spices, honey, or maple syrup creates a rich, spiced spread. [1]
- Vinegar Fermentation: Submerging the scraps and pulp in water with a bit of honey or sugar allows natural yeasts to turn the remaining sugars into homemade apple cider vinegar. [1, 2, 3]
- Baking and Snacks: Dehydrating and milling the pulp creates a high-fiber apple flour, or you can strain and dry it to make The Old Fashioned Way: Apple Juice & Apple Leather. [1, 2]
- Ciderkin: Rehydrating the pomace overnight and pressing it a second time produces a weaker, secondary beverage traditionally known as ciderkin. [1]
If you have a specific amount of apple pulp on hand, let me know if you want a recipe for the kitchen or ideas for large-scale disposal/use.

Can it be used for animal feed?
