Fried Apple Tips

What's the best apple for cooking?

We think Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Empire, Braeburn and Cortland apples are some of the best apples for cooking. They're hard to beat because they are firm and tend to hold their shape when cooked. Plus, they're easy to find in most grocery stores.

Can you freeze fried apples?

Yes, you can freeze fried apples! After preparing the fried apples, let cool them completely, then place in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 6 months. To use, thaw in the refrigerator and warm in a saucepan over medium heat.

How do you store apples for the winter?

First, select sturdier apples with thick skins. Store in a cool, dry place, like your fridge crisper drawer or even in a sheltered outdoor area like a garage or shed. Learn more about storing apples during winter.
