Tips for Apples
How do you choose apples? Do you use different apples for different apple recipes? There are so many different questions about apples for every recipe. I am here to help you gain some general knowledge and some quick tips that will help you make any and all of these apple recipes!
- Tangy apples: If you are looking to add a bit of tartness to a recipe, use a Granny Smith apple or a slightly tart Macoun.
- Sweet apples: If you want to add some sweetness to a recipe without the extra sugar, look for Honeycrisp apples which pack a lot of sugar. Or try using a sweet Golden Delicious apple. Either of these will add some sweetness you may be looking for!
- Prevent apples from turning brown: If you are using apples in a salad or sliced on a platter, the best way to stop sliced apples from turning brown is to soak the fruit in some salt water (½ tsp salt in a cup of water) for about 10 minutes. You can drain them and store them until ready to use. Once you want to use them, rinse them off before serving or using them to get rid of that saltwater taste.
- To peel apples: If you dip an apple quickly in and out of boiling water, then you will be able to peel the skin off much more easily.
How to Store Apples
There is always a time of year when we are overwhelmed with an abundance of apples. Don’t let them go to waste! Here are some ways that you can make them last longer so you can store them to use later in so many different apple recipes!
- Keep them cool: With apples, it’s best to store them in the fridge until you are ready to use them. If you have one, place them in the crisper drawer in a plastic bag with holes. Or, place them in the fridge covered with a damp paper towel.
- Freeze them: Did you know that you can freeze whole apples?? Once you have your apples, wash them and place them in an airtight container in your freezer. Apples can be kept in the freezer for 3-6 months.
