Golden Delicious apples are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in a crisper drawer away from other fruits and vegetables, as apples release ethylene gas which can accelerate ripening. For longer storage, wrap each apple individually in paper towels to prevent bruising and moisture loss. Properly stored apples can last for several weeks or even months in the refrigerator. Avoid washing the apples before storing them; wash them only when you're ready to eat them.
