FREEZING APPLES OFF THE TREE

 APPLES YAY!!!!
Pick lot of apples over at my mother in-laws home and the tree is hanging over it's so loaded.  So time to start freezing them for apple pies, apple sauce and cinnamon and apple turnovers.

You will need apples any amount is good.  And their is no cooking involved.


In a separate pot filled with cold water add 1/4 cup salt.  Stir in set aside.
 Now fill another bowl full of water.  Apples like these tarnish amazingly fast, unlike the one you find in the store.   So the reason were doing it this way is to keep them from tarnishing and turning brown.  I like to work with four apples at a time.  Cut them in half on the cutting board and toss them into the water. As you cut the seeds out keep the slices wet.
 I added some ice cubes to the salt water to cool the tepid water down more.   So their the little apple above, cored and cut into 5 piece.  When coring and cutting don't worry about perfection, but make sure the seed and hard parts are goine.
 Here is a whole bunch sliced and cored in the salt water.   Let them rest in the salt water for about 15 to 20 minutes and mind you they will tarnish a little bit, but no were near if you left them out.  
 Make sure you have freezer bags.   Any size or brand will do.
 Write the date on the freezer bag, or at least try to.   I might have to get a sticker.
After the 15 to 20 minutes use a sieve to drain the apples and rinse them off really good and then put into a freezer bag.  Press out the air as much as possible.  Put in freezer.   No this bag is not full, I will do another batch and will fill up this bag.    


If you want to know how to make apple turn over please type

Your apples in the freezer will last 10 to 12 months.  


Enjoy making your own creations.
