Freezing apples

This recipe requires preparation in advance!

Not a recipe, just a useful idea for using the glut of apples you seem to get in the Autumn.

I have made dried apple slices as a way to use lots of apples but to be honest, you can only eat so many of them.

Freezing them was an idea my neighbour came up with and it seems rather good as in most cases, frozen apples would still be fine for cooking.

Whilst there is a lot of fiddling about; peeling and trimming, the benefit is that you probably have organic apples if they have come from your garden.

I was staggered to learn from a Kentish orchard owner that apples are sprayed once a week until they are picked! That really can't be great for you.
