How to Freeze Apples (Fast!)

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside. Make sure the pan you use will fit in your freezer, sitting flat. If you have a narrow freezer, you might want to use a large plate, instead.

Slice the apples into thin, 1/8-inch slices, or into 1-inch chunks. How you slice them is determined by what you plan on using them for later. For an apple pie or baked apple dessert, I recommend slicing them into the thin, 1/8-inch slices. You might want to peel the apples first, in those cases, too. For applesauce or smoothies, the 1-inch chunks will work just fine, and you don&#039;t have to peel them for a blended recipe.

Arrange the cut apples into a single layer on the prepared pan. Ideally, you don&#039;t want the pieces to touch, so they won&#039;t freeze together in a clump, but it&#039;s okay if a few do. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.

Transfer the apples to an airtight container, and keep them stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. They should have their best flavor if you use them up within 3 to 6 months, but techincally they should be fine to eat for up to 1 year.

I add lemon juice to my apple slices before putting them in the freezer, it keeps them from going brown

Freeze apples, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and tomatoes all the same way - I also peel and freeze whole bananas for my holiday banana breads. The frozen berries work great in granola and heated for hot cereal.

Why haven't I ever thought of freezing apples before? This is genius, and so simple. I'm planning on making your baked apples for Thanksgiving this year, and I'm going to use this trick to make it ahead of time. Thanks for sharing!
