- Adding to salads
Before using, wash the apples under cool running water. You can peel them if preferred, or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients. For baking, they can be sliced, diced, or cored. Their natural sweetness means you may need less added sugar in recipes. They hold their shape well when cooked, making them suitable for tarts and crumbles. For a simple snack, enjoy them whole or sliced with a dip.

Cox apples are known for their balanced sweet and tart flavor profile. They tend to have a slightly softer flesh than some other varieties, which makes them excellent for eating raw and for cooking where a tender texture is desired. Their aroma is also quite distinctive.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining apples fresh, store them in a cool, dry place, such as a refrigerator or a cool pantry. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight. They can be kept in their original packaging or a breathable bag. Separate them from other produce that may cause them to ripen faster.
