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 produce that may emit ethylene gas, which can accelerate ripening.
