How to Stop Apples Slices Going Brown

How to stop sliced apple slices from going brown? Drop the slices into salted water: 1 oz of salt to 4 pints of water. I was amazed at how well it worked. I was peeling and slicing Bramley apples from our tree to freeze and they go brown really quickly on exposure to the air but dropping them into the salty water kept them white.

The method I used for freezing them once they were all peeled was:

(1)  rinse the salty water off the apple slices

(2) drop the apple slices into boiling water and blanch for 1 minute

(3) remove the apple slices from the boiling water and drop into iced water to cool

(4) dry the cooled apple slices on towel/kitchen paper

(5) line a baking tray with baking parchment and lay the apple slices on the parchment

(6) put the baking tray onto a shelf in the freezer

(7) when frozen pack the apple slices into freezer bags and keep in the freezer

Frozen like this, the apple slices are separate, so you can use as many or as few as you like in recipes.
