Helpful Hints:
|
Apples are available year around, but the best buys are September to February. Delicious, Gala and McIntosh are great for eating alone or in salads. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Jonathan, make the best pies and applesauce. A 3- pound sack of apples equals about 12 medium apples or 12 cups of sliced apples.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
Apples should be washed before being eaten or cooked. Washing helps remove dirt, germs and any pesticides that may be on the skin. Even if you are going to peel apples, wash first! No need for detergents; just use clean water to wash fruit and vegetables.
