How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining apples fresh, store them in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator crisper drawer. Avoid washing them until you are ready to use them, as moisture can encourage spoilage. Separate them from other fruits and vegetables, as apples can release ethylene gas, which may cause other produce to ripen or spoil faster.
