Generally
Store apples on the counter at room temperature if you plan to use them within a few days. Keep them in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight to maintain their freshness. For long-term storage, place apples in the refrigerator, which helps slow down the ripening process and extends their shelf life. Alternatively, if you have a basement or a root cellar, store them there. That environment keeps apples fresh for weeks or even months, depending on the variety.
