Cooking With Apples: MORE Q&A

  • How do you keep apple slices from turning brown? You can dip them in lemon juice or 7-up to prevent the apples from browning. If you’re peeling and slicing apples for baking, try to do this right before you add them to the batter rather than prepare them ahead of time. If you’re preparing a bunch for a later snack, keep them in water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar added, drain well before serving.
  • Why is the top of an apple peeled before baking it? The top part of the apple is peeled to prevent the apple from splitting while it’s baking.
  • Why do slices of apples soften brown sugar and hard cookies plus keep cakes moist when stored in a cake container? Both cookies and brown sugar hardens when they lose moisture, sealing them in a container with a slice or two of apple helps them absorb the moisture from the apple slice and get soft again.
  • I notice a lot of recipes for apple jam and jelly don’t require pectin, why is that? Apples contain enough natural pectin to gel when making homemade jams & jellies…you’ll still need sugar in the recipe though to make the magic happen.
  • Is it okay to freeze apples and if so, what’s the best way? Sure you can freeze apples! First wash, pare, core and cut apples into slices. Then pack with sugar or syrup and freeze.
  • Should apples be refrigerated? Apples will keep for a few weeks when stored in the refrigerator (the cool temperature helps them stay fresh and preserve them) but it’s not necessary, you can keep them at room temperature if you prefer–keep in mind though that they won’t keep as long as if they were kept cool.
