    For me, it works well for me; Can the apples in plastic boxes by putting newspaper on the bottom and on the sides. 1st I put a layer of sawdust on top of the paddle about 5 mm of apples without touching each other, I cover them with sawdust, then I do not notice a layer and the same as the above and so on until the box is filled, I keep them in a dry place and Don't let the light come on and they last for a long time, although I will tell you that I do this same technique with storage tomatoes and they will last until next year. Good luck and whoever does it will do it like me. Antonio
