Jonagold apples are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and prevent them from ripening too quickly. Place them in a plastic bag with a few holes to allow for some air circulation, or store them in the crisper drawer. Stored properly, they can last for several weeks. Avoid storing them near ethylene-producing fruits like bananas, as this can accelerate ripening.
