My 11 year old son picked quite few Golden Delicious apples that are
immature -  so they are still a bit starchy tasting.  Is there any storage
condition that will allow more sugar to convert from starch?  My inkling is
to put them in a plastic bag to trap ethylene gas.  Is this correct?  What
temperature would be best, refrigerated, cool, or room temperature?
