You can help maintain that quality to be sure that your customers enjoy Washington Apples at their best.
Apples lose crispness and quality quickly at room temperature.
Washington Apples look beautiful in open displays, but remember to put out small numbers and replenish often. Store cartons with lids closed and away from strong-odored foods. When adding Washington Apples to recipes, prepare apples just before serving to minimize browning. Dip cut apples in one part lemon juice and three parts water or in an ascorbic acid preparation to prevent oxidation.
