Here is a great tip that some of you may find helpful when you're able to get some great deals on apples.
When I can get apples really cheap, I prep them for apple pies, apple crisp, etc. and freeze them. That way, when I need to make a dessert, I just pull one of these bags out, thaw it a little bit and throw it in my dessert. Super easy!!
4 large apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
3/4 c. sugar
2 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
2 T. butter, cut into small pieces
In a freezer bag, combine all of the above ingredients. Seal the bag and then mix together with your hands.
Freeze until needed!!
Shelly,
ReplyDeleteHow long can you keep the prepared apple in the freezer?
Thanks.
Hi Toni!
ReplyDeleteIn the research I've done they can be frozen this way for a year. I had mine in the freezer for about 8 months and they tasted fine...no freezer burn or anything. From what I understand the sugar, etc. protects the apples.
