Nothing says autumn quite like this sweet, tart, crunchy, juicy fruit. And few fruits are this versatile: Apples work in all-American or French dishes, and in kid-friendly or super-sophisticated treats. You've probably got apples in your kitchen right now -- here's what to do with them.
Tips:
Choose Apples with Shiny Skin
Dull skin is a signal that crispness and flavor are lacking.
Refrigerate Apples
At room temperature, apples quickly lose their crispness.
Prevent Browning
Dunk cut apples in a bowl of three parts water to one part lemon juice.
