I make what I call "Apple Empinadas" because they remind me of the empinadas from Taco Bell.
I get a soft taco shell (though I imagine a pie crust dough would work better- I'm just not a fan of making dough.) and cover one side in butter. I chop up an apple into really small pieces and cover half the shell in the pieces. Then, I sprinkle a liberal amount of sinnamon and sugar all over the apples and shell.
I then heat up about 3-5 tbs of butter in a frying pan. I fold the taco shell closed over the apples and put it in the butter. I sprinkle the outside part looking up at me with plenty of cinnamon and sugar, and wait until the other half is a nice golden color, and a little crispy. Then I flip it and sprinkle the fried half with cnnamon and sugar and wait for the other half to become golden. Then I take it out of the pan, put it on a paper towel to absorb extra butter, and eat it.
It's best with vanilla ice crem and chocolate sauce. Remind me of fried ice cream.
I also use a lot of apples making a french dessert called "Apple Clafoutis". I can't find the recipe right now, but if you google it, you're bound to get about a million different recipes, and I'm sure they'll all taste good.

Recipe: Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
6 Large; tart apples, (Granny
-- Smith works best)
1 ts Lemon juice
1/4 c Bacon drippings
1/4 c Brown sugar; packed
1/8 ts Salt
1 ts Cinnamon
1/8 ts Nutmeg
This originally came from Wendy Lockman, who said the originator was Grandpa Jones, the entertainer. Anyway, I tried it for the first time last spring, and I now make it almost weekly. Leftovers reheat well, too!
Peel and core apples. Slice them into eighths.
In a large skillet, melt bacon drippings. Place apples evenly over skillet bottom. Sprinkle lemon juice over them, then brown sugar, then salt. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, or until apples are tender and juicy.
Uncover, and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well. Simmer for a few minutes longer until the pan juices begin to thicken.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apple Butter
4 quarts apple cider
3 quarts pared and quartered cooking apples (about 4 pounds)*
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Heat cider to boiling in a 5-quart Dutch oven. Boil, uncovered, until cider reduces to measure 2-quarts, about 1 1/4 hours.
Add apples and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until apples are soft and can be broken apart with spoon, about 1 hour. (Apples can be pressed through sieve or food mill at this point for smooth apple butter.)
Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer,uncovered, stirring frequently, until no liquid separates from pulp, about 2 hours.
Heat to boiling. Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe rims of jars. Seal and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.
Makes about 3 1/2 pints Apple Butter.
