1.Prevent Sugar from Crystallizing

Brown sugar is much healthier (and arguably – tastier) than white sugar. The only problem with it, is that it tends to clump and crystallize. To prevent this from happening, put a piece of apple in a small fabric pouch and add it to your container of sugar. The apple will increase the moisture and prevent it from clumping.

 2.Accelerate Ripening of Fruits

Some fruits emit a gas called Ethylene that hastens the ripening of other fruits. If you want those avocados and bananas to ripen quicker, place an apple next to them, that ought to do the job. 

3.Preserve Baked Goods

Bread and cakes tend to dry out quickly, even when kept in a sealed container. To keep them from drying out, put half an apple into the container you keep your baked goods in!

4. General Cleaner

Instead of using chemical-filled industrial cleaners, why not make your own effective, antiseptic, deodorizing cleaner? Simply mix equal amounts of apple-cider vinegar and water into a spray bottle, and there you have it!

5. Natural Sweetener

Apples are an excellent replacement for sugar, as they add their unique flavor without overpowering the dish/drink. Apples contain fructose, which is healthier than white sugar and even more so than artificial sweeteners! Try adding grated apples to dishes instead of sugar and you’ll be amazed!

6. Make a Fancy Drink

In recent years, flavored vodka has become quite popular, but its price can be much higher than regular vodka. If you fancy some apple-flavored vodka, simply follow this recipe:

• Cut some apples and put them in a sealed jar.
• Cover the apples in vodka, seal the jar and it let sit for a few days.
• If the taste is not yet to your liking, simply let it sit until you're satisfied with the taste.
  7.Fix Over-Salted Food
  If you happen to add too-much salt to a dish you’re making, just cut a few pieces of apple and put them in the pot. The apple pieces will absorb the salt without damaging the flavor of the dish.
