What it is
Fuji apples are a popular variety known for their exceptional sweetness and satisfying crunch. They are a hybrid of the Red Delicious and Ralls Janet apples, developed in Japan. These apples typically have a pinkish-red blush over a yellow-green background. Their firm texture and balanced flavor make them a favorite for snacking and cooking.

- Making applesauce
Enjoy Fuji apples fresh out of hand for a simple, healthy snack. When baking, their sweetness means you might need less added sugar. They hold their shape well when cooked, making them suitable for pies, tarts, and crumbles. Slice them thinly to add a crisp, sweet element to green salads or slaws. They can also be cooked down to create smooth, flavorful applesauce.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your Fuji apples fresh, store them in the refrigerator. A cool, dark place like a crisper drawer works best. Avoid washing them until you are ready to eat them, as moisture can encourage spoilage. They can last for several weeks when stored properly.
