Apples can stay fresh for up to two months if stored properly. The most common mistake is excessive washing, which removes the natural wax that helps retain moisture. Storing apples in the refrigerator is recommended, as it maintains their crispness. Damaged apples should be separated to prevent them from affecting others. The longevity of apples also depends on the variety, with firmer types lasting longer. Apples that become mealy can still be used in recipes like applesauce or cider, reducing waste and saving money.
