Can you freeze apples?!
What about apples?
If you can freeze them, what's the best way to do it? Would have have to slice and peel them or can they go in whole? Would you put them in tupperwear or a ziplock bag?
How long would they keep for in the freezer?
Answers: I know you can freeze a lot of things, and a lot of stuff doesn't freeze well.

Apple, slices
Syrup pack is preferred for apples to be used for fruit
cocktail or uncooked dessert. Apples packed in sugar or
frozen unsweetened are good for pie making. For better
quality, slice apples into an ascorbic acid solution to
prevent darkening.
Select full-flavored apples that are crisp and firm, not
mealy in texture. Wash, peel and core. Slice medium apples
into twelfths, large ones into sixteenths, and drop
immediately into ascorbic acid/citric acid mixture.
Pack in one of the following ways:
Syrup pack
Use 50 percent syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 cup water). For a
better quality frozen product, add 1/2 teaspoon ascorbic
acid to each quart of syrup. Slice apples directly into
cold syrup in a container, starting with 1/2 cup syrup to a
pint container. Press fruit down in containers and add
enough syrup to cover. Seal, label and freeze.
Sugar pack
Over each quart (1 1/4 pounds) of apple slices sprinkle
evenly 1/2 cup sugar and stir. Pack apples into containers
and press fruit down, leaving headspace. Seal, label and
freeze.
Unsweetened pack
Follow directions for sugar pack, omitting sugar.
you can keep the apples for a week in freeze
If you are going to freeze apples, you should core, peel and slice into rounds. Place in single layer on a cookie sheet lined with waxed or parchment paper for easy removal. Once frozen, they can be placed into a ziploc bag (make sure to squeeze out all the air) . They can be kept this way for 6 months to a year as long as when you use them, you remove the air again.
I ask, why not?
As far as how, I think it depends on what you plan on doing with the apples.
For example, if you plan on using them to make apple pies, then I say peel and slice them in the appropriate sizes and put them in Ziploc bags. If you're looking for a quick snack, I also suggest you slice (peel is optional) them. I predict it might be difficult and time-consuming to use frozen whole apples so slicing them might be a good idea overall.
I'm no food or "freezing" expert. But I do freeze a lot of foods.
Side note: Apples tend to last a fairly long time. Do you have tons and tons?
