      Color. An apple will change color as it nears maturity. Red apples will have a blush that gets deeper as the fruit gets closer to harvest. Green apples will gain a creamy white or yellowish tinge at maturity.

        If you lift a hanging apple and the stalk detaches easily, the apple is ripe. If you have to pull it or twist it, it is not ripe.
