Can You freeze apple

Answer 1

Apple, slices

Syrup pack is preferred for apples to be used for fruit

cocktail or uncooked dessert. Apples packed in sugar or

frozen unsweetened are good for pie making. For better

quality, slice apples into an ascorbic acid solution to

prevent darkening.

Select full-flavored apples that are crisp and firm, not

mealy in texture. Wash, peel and core. Slice medium apples

into twelfths, large ones into sixteenths, and drop

immediately into ascorbic acid/citric acid mixture.

Pack in one of the following ways:

Syrup pack

Use 50 percent syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 cup water). For a

better quality frozen product, add 1/2 teaspoon ascorbic

acid to each quart of syrup. Slice apples directly into

cold syrup in a container, starting with 1/2 cup syrup to a

pint container. Press fruit down in containers and add

enough syrup to cover. Seal, label and freeze.

Sugar pack

Over each quart (1 1/4 pounds) of apple slices sprinkle

evenly 1/2 cup sugar and stir. Pack apples into containers

and press fruit down, leaving headspace. Seal, label and

freeze.

Unsweetened pack

Follow directions for sugar pack, omitting sugar.
