Use eating apples where you want the fruit to retain its shape and give off less liquid.</li><li>Choose apples that are firm, brightly colored, and free of bruises or damaged skin.</li><li>Prevent browning when slicing apples for a recipe by putting the slices in a bowl of cold water with a spoonful of lemon juice.</li><li>Know your measurements.

When it comes to simple apple recipes, it’s important that you brush up on food storage tips and how to organize your fridge to avoid food waste and make the most of the apple season.
