How to Buy Apples

August 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Choose apples that feel firm. They should not have bruises or rotten spots.
Handle apples gently. Bumps and bruises cause dark spots.
YIELD
1 pound of apples equals about:

3 medium-sized apples
4 cups peeled, cored apples
Plan on 6 to 8 medium-sized apples for a 9-inch pie.
2 1/2 to 3 pounds equals 2 pints frozen apple slices.
2 1/2 to 3 pounds equals 2 pints canned (slices or applesauce).
12 1/4 pounds equals a canner load of 9 pints.
19 pounds equal a canner load of 7 quarts.
1 bushel is about 48 pounds.

    If you have any tips on best uses for different types of apples, it would be greatly appreciated. Enjoyed the Muskegon Chronicle article on the market in the Sunday paper. Inspired me to check out your site and come back down for a shopping trip next weekend.
