Do apples defrost nicely?
I have 2 apple trees that are chock full of the yummiest fruit. I have no idea what kind of apples they are - They are about the color of golden delicious but they're pretty tiny, takes 2 of them to get 1/2 cup chopped - but they are soooo tasty. My neighbors all have their own trees and the people at work get sort of wierded out by homegrown stuff so I'm going to end up with way more than I can eat before they go bad. I know I could make applesauce but I was thinking it would be nice to have some slices left to add to my oatmeal when the weather goes cold. I've frozen lots of other fruits but never apples. Anyone ever done it? If so, do you core and slice them first or freeze them whole?
