Tips on storing apples
Apples keep longer when handled with care. Place them in a perforated plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator drawer. If you have a large quantity, store them in a cold room with a temperature between 0ºC and 4ºC. Cover them with perforated plastic sheets to help keep them humid. Apples can also be frozen. Cut them into quarters or slices before freezing; never freeze whole apples.
