I have a HUGE crop of peaches and small cooking apples. Any ideas on how to save them for use later? Mom got a bunch of apples to make applesauce but she said they are a PITA to peel and core because they aren't that big. I'd like to come up with an easy way to peel and core them but I'm stumped. Even those old crank corers would take a LONG time to get 'em done.

Don't know what apples they are. Green, and are all completely ripe by Sept 1.

The peaches? They're maybe 2 1/2" across. My sister picked 2 bushel baskets full and it looks like she didn't touch the trees. The oldest tree, which was half dead has half it's good branches broken now. The others which are 3-4 years old have their branches bending all the way to the ground.
