Apple Tips and Recipe

From Kaylene - Here is a tip I found from Taste of Home. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to, since we love apple desserts.

For freezing apples, just peel and slice and put into a bowl with water and a tablespoon or more of lemon juice. Drain and put into freezer bags according to the amount you need. I did them for apple pies and put 8 cups in each bag. Get all of the air out and lay flat so you have more room for storage. My mother in law has done this for years and they turn out fine for cakes or pies. —1002, Hints and Tips forum

Also a good recipe, (one of our favorites!) copied out of my Grandma's old handwritten recipe book.
