The best way to store apples for a long period of time is to keep them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation, such as a dark and well-ventilated pantry or cellar. Make sure to inspect the apples for any soft spots or other signs of spoilage, and to place the apples in a single layer to avoid bruising. Avoid humidity and changes in temperature, as this can cause the apples to spoil more quickly.
