Staff Answer

Apples can be boiled without peeling them first, if this is what the recipe requires. It can help to cut out blemishes before boiling though, to be sure nothing rotten or unsavory is getting boiled as well.

Staff Answer

Most apples can be used in baking but there are some that stay firmer when baked and are thus best. These include: Braeburn, Fuji, Granny Smith, Rome Beauty, Jonathan, Northern Spy, Cortland, McIntosh, Winesap, among others. These apples can be baked whole or added to baked foods such as apple crisp, apple pie, apple cakes, apple cookies, apple sauces and apple sauce.

Staff Answer

Yes, you can make tea from apple peels. Choose a sweet variety of apple and wash 6. Peel all 6 and place in a saucepan with 3.5 cups water, 1 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour through a strainer into mugs; sweeten with honey if you like. Serve immediately, as it's best when warm.

Question

How long do cooked apples last?

Community Answer

They last a few days in the refrigerator and a few weeks in the freezer. If you leave any out on the counter, you will want to eat them that day or the next. They will harden over time.

Question

My apples are very hard from an old apple tree. How should I cook them?

Community Answer

Microwave for 30 seconds and place into the freezer for 10 days. After this duration, remove from freezer and defrost/thaw the apple. Then place into 420 degree deep fryer and leave in for 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

Question

If I boil an apple, would it be soft instead of crunchy?

Community Answer

Yes, it would be soft. If you bake it with some cinnamon on top, then it would be crunchy.

How do I stop my apples from turning brown when preparing them?

One part lemon or lime juice and three parts water should do the trick. Sprinkle it on to prevent browning, and you should be good to go!

Question

Can I soak or boil my apples when cooking them?

Barbara Dearaujo

Community Answer

Yes. Skin apples, cut into cubes and put them in a saucepan with water, apple juice or both, enough to cover the apples. It can take upward of 30 - 45 minutes to boil them; how long you boil depends how soft you like them. Lots of ways to serve them: add cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts and eat over ice cream, French toast, waffles, frozen yogurt, etc, or by themselves! You can also make applesauce with boiled apples once they're done, if you'd like.

Question

what do you do when you are stewing apples to make them golden?

HumanBeing

Top Answerer

Finely grate half a peeled, medium sized carrot and add it to the apples to make them not only golden but a little bit more nutritious. Reduce to quarter of a carrot if you think it may over-power the apple flavour.
