1. Make sure they have enough water
Apples need plenty of water to keep them fresh. If you notice any brown spots on the apple, check if the fruit is getting enough water. You should check the bottom of the fruit, where the stem meets the core. If it is dry, then add some water to the area around the stem.
2. Use pesticides sparingly
Use pesticides only if absolutely necessary. Apples are often sprayed with pesticides to kill bugs that may harm the fruit. However, using pesticides can cause brown spots. To avoid this problem, make sure you apply pesticides only at the right time and use the least amount possible.
3. Keep the air circulating
Make sure the room where you store your apples is well ventilated. Brown spots can occur due to the buildup of carbon dioxide in the air. Make sure to open windows frequently to let out the gas and allow oxygen to circulate throughout the room.
4. Don’t over-wash
Washing fruits and vegetables regularly can remove natural oils, which helps protect the skin and prevents browning. But washing too much can remove these protective oils, causing the surface of the fruit to dry out.
5. Store them properly
Store apples in a cool, dark place to preserve their quality and appearance. Apples tend to turn brown faster when exposed to sunlight, so try storing them in the fridge instead of leaving them outside.
