Having grounded and pressed a bushel of apples to make cider this year; and
having made cyser with sliced whole apples I can't recommend either.

You don't want sweets, (pies, crisps, etc) so I would offer 'Pork and Apples'
recommended for thanksgiving by 4 out of 5 turkeys.

3-4 apples
1 1/2 lbs pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter

Brown chops on both sides (10 minutes total)
Core and slice 3-4 unpeeled apples, lay slices in baking dish, cover with sugar
and cinnamon, dot with butter, and lay chops on top.

Cover and bake at 350 F for an hour. Apples will be tender and pork will be
cooked through.
