How to Choose
Look for apples that are firm, brightly colored, and free of bruises. The skin should be clean and shiny. A dull finish indicates the fruit may be past its prime.
How to Store
Apples do best in the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. At room temperature, they ripen too quickly and become mealy.
Shelf Life
Two weeks in the refridgerator; two days at room temperature.
Best Uses
Apples are delicious eaten out of hand, of course. They are also good baked in pies, roasted, and sauteed.
