How to pick apples
Choose firm apples with smooth skin and no bruises or soft spots. A good one feels heavy for its size.
How to store apples
Keep them in the fridge crisper drawer, where they last four to six weeks. Store them apart from other produce, because apples give off a gas that speeds ripening.
