Longer Storage

Most varieties of apples will keep several months if stored at lower temperatures. Freezing will lower the quality of apples.

For directions on long-term storage of apples, see Home and Garden Bulletin 119, “Storing Vegetables and Fruits in Basements, Cellars, Outbuildings, and Pits.” Send your request on a post card to the Office of Information, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.
