The Best Way to Store Apples
The best way to store apples and keep them fresh depends on their form.
- Whole apples are best kept in the fridge in a plastic bag wrapped with a damp paper towel or in a crisper drawer. They’ll stay fresh for 6 to 8 weeks.
- Cut apples should be tossed with lemon juice, transferred to an airtight container, and stored in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 3 to 5 days.
- Dried apples are best kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place at room temperature or in teh freezer. Stored at room temperature, they’ll stay fresh for up to 6 months and will keep in the freezer for up to a year!
Can I Freeze Fresh Apples?
Yes! You can freeze fresh, uncooked apples whole or sliced. To do so, transfer whole apples to a sealable freezer bag. Or, toss sliced apples in lemon juice, and transfer them to a sealable bag.
Freeze for up to 6 to 9 months, and thaw in the fridge overnight. Keep in mind that frozen apples may lose some of their taste and texture, becoming slightly more mushy. As a result, they’re best used in recipes like smoothies, crumbles, and crisps.
What 4 Apples are Best Used for Baking?
The most popular apples for baking are varieties that are firm and crisp with a fairly sweet flavor. I personally love Granny Smith, Pink Lady, and Honeycrisp.
