Notes
Storage: To store apples after being cut, toss in lemon juice and place them in an air-tight container or sealable bag in the refrigerator. Cut apples will last 3-5 days when stored in the refrigerator.
Freezing: Lay the apple slices on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, making sure they do not touch and place them in the freezer. Then, once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-friendly bag or container. You can use them frozen in smoothies, or defrost overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
