Something I learned about preserving apples. . .
You can freeze them! I'm so excited to find this out. Am I the last to know this method? If I knew, I have totally forgotten. You can find instructions at Freezing Apples.
I've canned apple pie filling, and canned apple sauce, but never froze any. I'm keeping these instructions, in case I need to do this. We do not have a root cellar. A fridge will keep apples only so long, so I'm sharing this today for those who did not know.
Honestly, I think these would be a great idea to freeze for those days you just don't have time or don't feel good. The recipe states you can freeze them up to 2 months.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes (Lemon and Zest recipe online). It makes 8, and I used 2 small apples from our trees. It calls for one apple, but I'm dwindling down in supply.

I have always froze my apple pie filling and cherry pie filling as well. Turns out wonderfully.
God bless.
Apple cinnamon pancakes are one of our favorite fall/winter breakfasts. I put chopped walnuts or pecans in ours. When I was a teacher's aide in a Kindergarten classroom, the teacher I worked with told me about putting apples and nuts in pancakes. I've also made them with pears.
I'll be interested in what you think of the frozen apples. I wish I had a bigger freezer! Fruit anything is such a treat, especially in winter. My daughter adds apple slices to her baked oatmeal.
Jackie, that is good to know. I have just canned apple pie filling.
Leigh, I put apples in our crock pot slow cooked steel cut oats too. It will be an interesting trial.
Debi, that is a great idea with pears. Our trees did not have any pears (that we have seen, could have been taken by deer) this year. I will have to remember that. We do like the apples in ours. I will have to add some nuts next time. Thanks.
I freeze them in slices to add with onions on top of pork chops, yummy!
Nancy, I was just thinking about making us pork chops with apples too. I will now have to freeze some for that. Sounds delicious.
