My outlaws had a special apple chest of drawers in one of the sheds. It had
little compartments for each apple to sit in, not touching each other. The
latter is very important.


It's not absolutely critical if you can inspect regularly and remove any
rotten ones before they infect their neighbours. So if you can't find
anything that will keep the apples separate, don't let that discourage
you from keeping them


But would you? I know I'd forget!


Well, I keep them in the wine cellar, so that jogs my memory!
Besides, we're eating about 5lb a week, so I'm reminded again when I go
downstairs to collect a few more.
