What to Look For

Choose apples that are a deep red color, with a glossy skin. They should be firm and free from dark, soft spots.

Storage Tips

Ripe apples will stay fresh for around a week in the refrigerator, as the cool temperature slows down the ripening process. If your apples are not yet ripe, keep them at room temperature, away from bright sunlight.
