Ideal storage is in the crisper of your refrigerator. Store apples alone as they emit ethylene gas which speeds up the ripening of other produce (perfect for trying to ripen an avocado but not for much else). Frequently go through your supply and if any have a soft spot, use it right away. I love the must use apples in my baked oatmeal or sauted apple side with chicken or pork. Holding to: “An apple a day to keep the doctor away” will make a family run short on apples very quickly.
