If the apple has even a small spot or dent, the ethylene produced during ripening is released faster, and then everything around it rots faster. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the appearance of the apples and when you notice that one is starting to rot, take it out and use it.
Also, apples can spoil prematurely if placed near other fruit. This accumulates the aforementioned ethylene, which accelerates spoilage, so it would be best if they were kept away from, say, peaches, grapes or bananas.
To prevent premature spoilage of apples, store at a lower temperature, if you don't plan to use them within a few days.
Avoid having them on the table or kitchen counter, the drawer of your refrigerator is ideal for this, as the apples will last there for about three to four weeks.

Put the apples in a plastic bag with a zipper or a plastic bowl with a lid, and place a piece of paper towel in the bag or at the bottom of the container, which will collect excess moisture and slow down the premature rotting of the fruit.
