They can also be sautéed, boiled, and preserved for sauces, or used as a topping that can be served over ice cream, pancakes, and French toast. The rose apples pair well with onions, garlic, chilies, mint, lemon, fennel, sharp cheeses, and greens such as romaine and spinach.

The fruit will keep for a couple of days when stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
