Apples can be canned, juiced, and optionally fermented to produce [[apple juice]], [[cider]], [[ciderkin]], [[vinegar]], and [[pectin]]. Distilled [[apple cider]] produces the [[spirits]] [[applejack]] and [[Calvados]]. [[Apple wine]] can also be made. They make a popular lunchbox fruit as well. | Apples can be canned, juiced, and optionally fermented to produce [[apple juice]], [[cider]], [[ciderkin]], [[vinegar]], and [[pectin]].

Sliced apples turn brown with exposure to air due to the conversion of natural phenolic substances into melanin upon exposure to oxygen. Different cultivars differ in their propensity to brown after slicing. | Sliced apples turn brown with exposure to air due to the conversion of natural phenolic substances into melanin upon exposure to oxygen.

A '''cooking apple''' is an apple that is used primarily for cooking rather than eating fresh. Cooking apples are larger, and can be tarter than eating varieties. Some varieties have a firm flesh that doesn't break down much when cooked. Many apples are dual-purpose, eg Granny Smith's. | A '''cooking apple''' is an apple that is used primarily for cooking rather than eating fresh.
