Apples can be stored both a room temperature or in the fridge, depending on how fresh they are and how long you want them to last. If storing at room temperature, make sure that they are in a cool area and away from direct sunlight. If storing in the fridge, be sure to keep in the fruit side of your crisp and they will last for several weeks or even months.
Add apple slices to banana and yogurt for a refreshing smoothie. If you have apples that are too mushy to eat, cut them into slices and freeze for use in a smoothie. Add diced apples to root vegetables like beets, sweet potato and carrots and roast in a 425 oven until tender. Have apple slices with almond or peanut butter for quick, filling snack. Also try apple slices with goat, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese and nuts. 

Apples are a good source of both fiber and vitamin C. But be sure to eat the peel since that’s where most of the fiber and anti- oxidants are found.
