Storage Apples & Apple Fritters

When storing local, organic apples is part of your preservation plan it makes you one happy camper in January!! Time for some apple fritters!

Quality late season storage apples keep for months in the coldest spot (without freezing) in your pantry/house or in an extra fridge. We store ours at 36°. A closed container helps retain moisture.

The Fireside and Stark we are eating are still crisp! Remember, the apples in the store now are also from fall, some are coated with wax to lengthen storage.

We have customers each year who buy bushels for storage in late fall, and I’ve been getting many reports lately of Apple Share members using their last (or still continuing to enjoy the last) of their ARF apples. These things being us such joy!

These were our first apple fritters and they certainly won’t be our last - delicious!!
