Which wrap would keep sliced apples the freshest in the refrigerator?

Answer 1

I'm assuming your sliced apples are not already dried.... and hoping they were not sliced with the peel still on... If you have a deep freezer, you can freeze them as stewed apples or apple puree. Cook (gently, with the lid on the pan, and keep an eye on it because it makes a big mess of your cooker if it boils over!) your sliced apples with sugar to taste - I reckon a couple of tablespoons per pound of sliced apples is OK but you might have a different sweet tooth. Cook till the apples are soft and transparent for stewed apples, a bit longer for puree. (Bramley apples and similar will fluff up and disintegrate, it will always be a puree with these varieties). Push it through a sieve to puree. freeze in plastic pots / ziploc bags / small sandwich bags if you want to have individal portions. You can use the stewed apple once thawed as the insides of a pie or a crumble. If you can get access to a cider press, you can either make cider from the juice or freeze the juice in reused plastic cartons (squash these in a bit when filling so they don't split in the freezer). If you don't have a freezer, apple chutney will take care of a bit of it. Luckily onions are cheapish this time of year. If you have other fruit you can supplement that with apples to make a mixed fruit jam. If your apples are quite sour this will help with the setting of the jam. Remember there is quite a lot of water in apples when you are working out your sugar amount. If you don't have a freezer, drying works well. If you have a sweet tooth, and to keep them from browning quite so much, wet the apple slices slightly with a mixture of a little honey and hot water to make it runny. Lay your slices (should be less than 4mm thick) out on a cake cooling rack and put them on a sunny windowsill for a few days. If there are flies etc that will settle on them, put a clean muslin cloth or one of those fly screen dome things over them. If it's not sunny and you have been using the oven, put your racks of apples in when you're done to dry a bit in the cooling oven, and prop the door open a crack so the water vapour can get out. Your dried apples will be a bit brown and chewy (not floppy) but they are undeniably APPLEY. As a bonus, they take up a lot less space than the fresh apples. You can store in jars or plastic bags. You can either eat them as they are, or reconstitute them in the depths of winter for a pie - put in a bowl overnight with just enough water to cover them. For an unusual gift, pack some dried apple slices tightly into a small jar, add a heaped spoonful of brown sugar, and top up with brandy or rum. Shake the jar a few times before Christmas to dissolve the sugar and you have a luxurious wintertime treat to give away.

Answer 2

Wrap It tightly in plastic wrap or in a ziplock bag, making sure to squeeze out any extra air. Dipping the cut side of the apple in a little lemon juice will keep it from turning brown as fast.

Answer 3

Freezer bags with zip=locks are the best I have found for storing fresh produce in the fridge.
