 This may seem silly but....Has anyone ever frozen apples? If you have can you tell me how you did it. Thank you

I peeled and sliced mine into a bowl of cold water with lemon juice added (you can use a little vinegar instead if you wish). When I was all done, I just scooped them out of the water and into freezer bags and into the freezer. I had almost no browning of them doing it this way.
I froze enough in bags for a pie, but I could also use them for simmering down into apple sauce.
Super simple and worked really well for me.

Diane, I freeze lots of apples, I peel, rinse and then put in a large kettle of hot water with salt. I let the peices get hot and then drain and put into containers. The reason I get them hot is we love fried apples and a quart bag doesnt hold very many sliced ones so by getting them hot you can get lots more in the bag. I never have brown apples. To can I do the same way, pack into qt jars then make a syrup of 1 cup susar 1cup water pour over apples put lids on place in pressure canner and get to 5 lbs pressure turn off Miss Wilma

That sounds like a great way too Wilma. I honestly couldn't tell you what kind of apple trees I have here. They are very old and were on the property when we moved here. One day I will take a couple to an expert and find out exactly what they are. They sure do taste and process well though.

Diane,
if you make your own apple sauce try halving the receipe to 1/2 apples & 1/2 pears....my family loves it when I
make apple~pear sauce.(which isn't often enough these days).

Grace - Apple-pear sauce? My mouth is WATERING. I usually make pear honey, but now I think I'll be trying apple-pear instead (or in addition too) I think my neighbors would revolt if I stopped bringing pear honey. :o)
