- Salads
- Baking
- Sauces
These apples can be enjoyed straight from the bag as a healthy snack. For cooking, they can be sliced and added to fruit salads or used in baked goods like pies and crumbles. Their sweetness means you may need less added sugar in recipes. They also hold their shape well when cooked, making them suitable for tarts and compotes. You can also cook them down to create a simple applesauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to tart varieties like Granny Smith, Gala apples offer a much sweeter and milder flavor. Their texture is crisp but not as hard, making them easier to bite into and more forgiving in some baking applications where a softer texture is desired.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining apples fresh, store them in a cool, dark place, such as the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Avoid washing them until you are ready to use them, as moisture can encourage spoilage. They can typically be stored for several weeks.
