Broken apple tree branch

My apple tree got so full this year one of the bigger branch broke last night. I heard a snap last night but i couldn't figure out what it was until i got outside this morning !

Thats amazing! What are you going to do with all of them? Could you make something like apple juice? Would that keep for a while?

i would (kinda sucks after the fact) is there any large branches/limbs left that need braced? if so id put poles under each branch to hold it up. twine the limb to the top of the pole etc..

might be ugly but it prolly worth it, u can always paint the poles.
