Gala apples are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and prevent them from ripening too quickly. Place them in a plastic bag or container in the crisper drawer. Storing them away from other fruits and vegetables can help prevent ethylene gas from accelerating ripening. Apples can typically last for several weeks when properly refrigerated. For extended storage, apples can be sliced and frozen for use in smoothies or baking; however, their texture may change upon thawing.
