When cooking fresh apples for pies or sauces, the yield is about 50%.
1 pound raw = 1/2 pound cooked.
Apples absorb odors. They emit ethylene gas, which causes other fruit to ripen quicker.
Store apples at 35 degrees F, 80% humidity to prevent dehydration.
Use tart apples for apple pie.
Apples, pears and potatoes dropped in cold, lightly salted water as they are peeled will retain their color.
