Mildly sweet, juicy, and crisp without being too firm, Gala apples are one of those dependable fruits that disappear quickly from the fridge.

Pack them into lunches, slice them with nut butter, add them to salads, or set a few out for easy grab-and-go snacking. Their balanced sweetness also makes them a simple choice for baking when you want a softer, more delicate apple flavor.
