Steps:
- Prep: Cut cucumber into spears or rounds. Add your chosen optional flavors to a lidded non-reactive container (like a glass jar or ceramic vessel - I used a 32-oz mason jar), then pack in cucumber.
- Liquid: Heat water in either a kettle, the microwave, or on the stove until steaming hot. Stir in salt until dissolved. Stir in vinegar.
- Combine: Pour vinegar mixture over cucumbers so that they are covered (you may not need all of the liquid). Let cool to room temperature, then seal shut and transfer to the refrigerator. (Let pickle for at least 1 hour before digging in, optimally 24 hours.)

Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small non-reactive saucepan (such as stainless steel, glass, ceramic or teflon) over high heat. Whisk until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Transfer the liquid into a bowl and whisk in the cold water. Refrigerate brine until ready to use.
- Stuff the cucumbers into two clean 1-quart jars. Add the coriander seeds, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, dill sprigs, and chilled brine into jars, dividing evenly. If necessary, add a bit of cold water to the jars until the brine covers the cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate about 24 hours, then serve. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape well when pickled. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Make sure the pickling liquid is completely cool before pouring it over the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from becoming mushy.
- Store the pickles in a cool, dark place. This will help them to retain their flavor and crispness.
- Enjoy the pickles within a few weeks. They will start to lose their flavor and crispness after that.
Conclusion:
Apple refrigerator pickles are a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh apples all year long. They are a delicious and versatile snack, and they can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. So next time you have a few extra apples on hand, be sure to try making a batch of these pickles. You won't be disappointed!
