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. They can be stored with other fruits and vegetables, but it is best to keep them separate from ethylene-producing items if possible to prolong their freshness.
