How to freeze fresh apples

Freeze Whole Apples

The easiest way to freeze your apples is to keep them whole. First, wash the apples thoroughly. Then, place them on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer. Once they’re completely frozen, transfer the apples to freezer bags.

Freeze Apple Slices

Once sliced, dip the apples in a bowl of water with a little lemon juice stirred in (about a tablespoon per gallon) to prevent browning. Place the apple pieces on a baking sheet (don’t let them touch each other), and freeze thoroughly.

To freeze baked apples

Prepare whole cooking apples as if for baking by taking out the core with an apple corer then brushing the cut part with some of the juice of 1 lemon to stop it discolouring. Freeze, then allow to defrost before continuing with your recipe.

Can you freeze whole apples with skin? You can freeze apple slices with skin if you want, but you shouldn’t freeze the whole fruit. Sliced apples freeze and thaw more quickly, preventing them from getting brown and mushy.

While freezing apples won’t ruin them, the texture will change. The texture of frozen apples won’t be crispy like fresh apples, but rather strong and snappy. Hence, you may not get the same satisfaction from eating defrosted and thawed apples compared to fresh apples.

Finally, the average adult would need to eat anywhere from 150 to several thousand crushed seeds (depending on the apple variety) to be at risk of cyanide poisoning. The average apple contains only about five to eight seeds.

Fresh and crunchy apples are packed with healthy flavonoids and fibres that may help burn belly fat. They are particularly rich in pectin fibre that breaks down slowly. The fibres present in apple promote satiety. If you feel full, you would naturally binge less.
