If you know anyone with horses they can always use apples, no matter how sour or hard. They're a wonderful addition to a horse's diet, especially over winter.
I used to harvest bags of hard woody crabapples off a prolific tree growing in a friend's back yard for a local who kept a couple of old ponies. They really enjoyed crunching up the hardest and wrinkliest apples, a few each day or two well into the winter.
If you have a juicer (or better yet, cider press), there's always that. I get about 65% yield by weight from my (reasonably high-end I guess?) juicer. Want my mulled cider recipe? :) Keeps in the fridge for a one to two months without fermenting, and really cuts down on the storage volume!
