FAQ
How do I pick the best apple at the market?
Look for apples with shiny skin — they will be crisper and tastier than dull apples. They should feel firm when you give them a gentle squeeze, and not have any bruises or punctures.
Should I refrigerate my apples?
Yes! Your apples will stay fresh and crunchy when they’re stored at about 32°F/0°C.
How do I keep apples from turning brown?
Apples naturally oxidize (aka turn brown) after they’re sliced and exposed to air. They are still safe to eat! But don’t look or taste as fresh. You can keep the brown at bay by dipping or spraying slices with a 3:1 water and citrus mixture.
What’s the right way to wash an apple?
Rinse them under cool running water while scrubbing vigorously with your clean hands. Pay special attention to the top near the stem and the bottom near the calyx (the little dimple on the bottom).
