Default What to do with windfall apples?

My 'Ashmeads Kernal' is well loaded with fruit and harvest is scheduled
for mid-October.

Meanwhile, it is shedding a lot of small apples - some of which show signs
of insect damage.

* Should I be composting this windfall?
* Just leave it where it falls?
* Or maybe I should be destroying it to disrupt pest life-cycles?
* Is there a good culinary use for undamaged fallers?

Thanks!
