Cook first or straight in the freezer?

[cariadlet]

I know this is a really stupid question, but my mind has gone completely blank.

We've got loads of blackberries and cooking apples so through the summer I've just been picking them as I need them. But now I want to batch cook and have stuff to stick in the deep freeze to use over the winter.

I did this last year. Nothing fancy. Just crumbles and apple charlotte. But I can't remember if I cooked them first so they just needed defrosting and warming up or if I just prepped them and put them in the freezer so that they would need defrosting and then to be cooked properly.

Any suggestions.

Any suggestions ?

I know you can freeze unbaked crumble mix and the fruit separately, so you can just throw them together and into the oven when needed. I've never frozen one cooked, so I would freeze unbaked but put together if that's what you wanted, I don't see why you couldn't freeze baked but may change texture a bit. For apples I would stew first then freeze.

Thank you
