<human>:  What is the best way to store apples for the longest time?
<bot>: The best way to store apples for the longest time is to place them in a cool, dry space with good air circulation. Wrap each individual apple in a paper or cloth bag, and store the apples in a single layer on a wooden surface or in a plastic or cardboard box. Apples should not be stored in direct sunlight or near any type of heat source. Additionally, regularly check the stored apples and discard any rotten or bruised ones.
