Freezing offers a simple way to preserve apples. First, peel, core, and slice them. Treat them to prevent browning. Then, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once firm, transfer the frozen slices to freezer-safe bags. They are perfect for pies, crisps, and smoothies.
Want a healthy, portable snack? Dehydrating apples into chips is your answer. Slice apples evenly. Treat them to stop browning. Dry until leathery or crisp. Canning also offers good long-term preservation. Think apple jelly, apple butter, or even pickled apple slices — stored for months.
