Splitting Gala Apples #540154

Asked January 03, 2019, 10:12 PM EST

I purchased some Gala apples from the market, they were in a plastic bag.  When I got home I hung them on the side of my cabinet,  a few days later they were split,  they had a swollen dry look to them, I tried one and it had a dry and flavorless texture to them. What would cause the apples to split? My kitchen is not hot
