Storage Tips

Cripps Pink apples are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in the crisper drawer to help prevent them from drying out. Apples can also be stored at room temperature, but they will ripen more quickly and may not last as long. For longer storage, consider freezing sliced apples, but be aware that the texture will change upon thawing.
