What to Look For

The York apple has red skin, but is often streaked with yellow, which has no significance when determining how ripe the fruit is. Fresh apples are firm and smooth - skinned. Wrinkling is a sign that they are past their best. Discard any with bruises or broken skin.

Storage Tips

Ripened apples do not keep for long, so store them in the refrigerator, where the cool temperature helps to preserve them. If you need to ripen your apples, keep them at room temperature.
