- Apple Peeler Corer Slicer optional
Ingredients
- Apples
- Salt
- Water
Instructions
- Wash, peel, core, and slice apples.
- Treat to prevent browning. I use a salt water soak. Simply slice your apples right into salt water. About 2 T salt dissolved in 1 quart water.
- When all apples are sliced, allow to soak 5 minutes and drain.
- You can rinse with clean water to remove any salt residue if desired.
- Lay the slices out in a single layer on a cookie sheet or in any flat pan.
- Place in the freezer.
- When frozen remove the apples from the pan and package in freezer containers. Usually a couple hours is sufficient.
Notes
Optionally you can use a sheet of parchment paper to keep apples from sticking to your cookie sheet. Or use a metal spatula to gently break frozen apples free.
