How to Freeze Apples (Fast!)
Report
Frozen apples are perfect for apple smoothies, baked apples, applesauce, and more. Here's how to freeze them in the fastest way possible.

Ingredients
- 2 apples
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside. Make sure the pan you use will fit in your freezer, sitting flat. If you have a narrow freezer, you might want to use a large plate, instead.
- Slice the apples into thin, 1/8-inch slices, or into 1-inch chunks. How you slice them is determined by what you plan on using them for later. For an apple pie or baked apple dessert, I recommend slicing them into the thin, 1/8-inch slices. You might want to peel the apples first, in those cases, too. For applesauce or smoothies, the 1-inch chunks will work just fine, and you don't have to peel them for a blended recipe.
- Arrange the cut apples into a single layer on the prepared pan. Ideally, you don't want the pieces to touch, so they won't freeze together in a clump, but it's okay if a few do. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
- Transfer the apples to an airtight container, and keep them stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. They should have their best flavor if you use them up within 3 to 6 months, but techincally they should be fine to eat for up to 1 year.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 whole apple, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- You can use this method for freezing any variety of apple, and will probably also work for similar fruit, like pears.
