Ingredients

1 Apple
1 tsp Lemon juice

Instructions

Start by washing and peeling the apples. Remove the core and cut them into small slices or cubes.
Place the apple slices or cubes into a bowl and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Toss the apples to ensure they are coated with the lemon juice. The lemon juice will prevent the apples from turning brown.
Once the apples are coated with lemon juice, lay them out on a baking sheet with space in between. Allow them to freeze all the way.
Once the apples are frozen transfer them to freezer-safe storage containers or bags. Be sure to leave some space at the top of the container or bag to allow for expansion during freezing.
Label the containers or bags with the date and contents, then place them in the freezer.
Frozen apples can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months. When ready to use, thaw the desired amount in the fridge or at room temperature before use.
