How can I tell if an apple is ripe?
assistant
The best way to tell if an apple is ripe is by checking the color of the skin. An apple should be a deep, uniform shade of yellow-green when it's ripe. You can also check for give in the skin and see if it feels soft to the touch. Finally, you can smell the apple - if it smells sweet and fragrant, then it's likely ready to eat!
