Anyone have any apple recipes that would freeze well?

[tasteeone]

I have a lot of apples left from apple picking this season. I want to make something with them and then freeze it. Any suggestions? I did a google search and the one thing I found that looked promising was apple pie filling.

Most Apple and Applesauce Cakes freeze very well.

applesauce freezes beautifully

Not exactly a recipe - I pare and slice the apples, then freeze them in quantities for a pie. They do get brown and mushy when they're thawed, but they're still good for cooking and baking.

I peel and slice apples, then microwave them briefly to soften just a bit. Then freeze in pie-quantity freezer bags. They thaw beautifully and don't turn to mush if you microwave them a bit first.

When freezing pie filling, which I tend not to do in quantity because I lack the freezer space, I put one pie's worth of filling in a gallon-sized freezer bag, lay the bag inside a pie tin, and freeze like that. When frozen, remove the tin. This way, you have pie-shaped pie filling in your freezer, which doesn't even need to be defrosted before being popped into a crust for baking.

That is genius! I am so stealing that idea!!

I can't take credit for the idea, although I no longer remember where I saw it. It's SO handy for both putting away extra fruit, and for having an easy dessert on hand mostly made.

I have done that as well - works like a charm. I generally freeze my apples unseasoned, though, so that if I want to use them for a purpose other than pie, they don't already have cinnamon, etc. mixed in.
