Slice the apples and cook them in a dehydrator. Keep them in sealed plastic bags or airtight jars and cans.

Many nuts are a good source of protein and they can be kept from going rancid for a long time. However, it’s important to keep them enclosed and in a freezer. Some can last for up to 2 years.
Some nuts also keep better than others — almonds are known for lasting a long time.

Beans are versatile; they can be a main dish, a topping, or a side. Keeping them in a can will help them last for 3 to five years.
To can beans, boil them for 2 minutes, remove from the heat, and then soak them for an hour before draining them. Cover them with fresh water and boil them for 30 minutes. Add salt and place them in a jar with their cooking water, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
7. Maple syrup: Freeze it.
