Braeburn apples are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in the crisper drawer, away from other fruits and vegetables that produce ethylene gas, which can accelerate ripening. For longer storage, wrap individual apples in paper towels to prevent bruising and moisture loss. Apples can generally last for several weeks when stored properly in the refrigerator. Avoid storing them at room temperature for extended periods, as they will ripen and soften more quickly.
