What To Do With Apple Cores?

My dear husband brought home lots of apples from the store today.  So I spent a little bit peeling them and coring them and slicing them.  One batch became an apple pie and there are two more apple pie fillings waiting nicely in my freezer for the next time I get a fancy for pie.  When I was done, I looked over the mess (and there was plenty of it) and couldn't bring myself to throw away all those cores.  I was not too careful about getting all the apple off the core, and it seems there must be some way I can use them.  So I sprinkled them with lemon juice and put them in a zip lock bag in the fridge until I come up with something.

So I thought I'd ask you, faithful readers (of which I think there are two), if you have any idea of what to do with all these leftover apple cores.  The only idea I've come up with is putting them in the crockpot with water and cinnamon sticks and hoping some sort of cider comes of it.  But maybe that won't work?  Any other ideas out there?

I haven't made anything from apple cores before, but Google says you can make apple sauce or vinegar.

...Gonna have to admit a fail on this one. I didn't commit to anything and finally last night my dear husband threw the cores away. Oh well, maybe next time! :)
