Does an apple rot faster at room temperature or in the fridge?

An apple rots faster at room temperature.

- The optimum temperature for storing apples is 30-32°F (0-1°C).

- At room temperature, apples are exposed to higher temperatures, which accelerates the ripening process, leading to faster rotting.

- The cold temperatures in the fridge slow down the ripening process and inhibit the growth of microorganisms that cause rotting.
