Apples

General Tips

• To keep diced or sliced apples from turning colour, toss with lemon or apple juice, or dip in acidulated water
• Use an apple corer or slicer to get perfectly even slices; peel with a vegetable peeler, taking care to remove as little flesh as possible
• Freeze apple slices for pie fillings and sauces with a little ascorbic powder, water, and sugar; pack and keep frozen for up to a year
