Cooking Apples!

[Mum2Fergus]

Lovely neighbour just handed me a big bag of them! Other than the obligatory crumble, what can I do with them? Can they be frozen in any way?!

They freeze really well if you stew them with a bith of sugar. Then you can just defrost them as you need them. They are lovely with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream.

I agree with cedar. Just be sure to freeze them in pie portion sizes.

I've made this apple cake, its really nice! v moist and will do nicely in packed lunches etc, in fact i've just had a slice with my cuppa

Bit odd in that you whisk egg and sugar first then add butter, but other than that its all good.

My sister made these Apple samosas yesterday.

peel, core and slice, chucking each piece into a bowl of water with a squirt of lemon in. When you have a pie#'s worth, hoik them out and freeze in a sealed plastic bag with as much air sucked out as you can. they will discolour a little as they defrost but put some blackberries or a load of cinnamon in and no-one will know :-). I find that if I cook before freezing it is basically apple sauce by the time it's defrosted and doesn't make a satisfactory pie.

Eve's pudding is gorgeous

You could stew them in the slow cooker for a few hours.

Thanks all...made a lovely apple/raisin/cinnamon crumble which we've just scoffed lol the remainder I've peeled cored and sliced and split into freezer bags
