You'll remove most of the wax and residue by rinsing the apple under cool water
Is this true?
Ideally, I'd like for some actual scientific research that compares various methods for washing/cleaning apples.

3You trimmed down the advice: "You'll remove most of the wax and residue by rinsing the apple under cool water and drying it with a clean towel or paper towel. If needed, rub it gently with a soft cloth or vegetable brush to scrub away the wax." I suspect it's like washing your hands, where water temperature isn't as significant as the rubbing – Joe Nov 17 '20 at 03:16

I agree with Joe, the only thing removing wax with this method is the advice to rub which you omitted. Wax isn't water soluble so cold water will have no effect but hot water would melt it. – Gemma Nov 22 '20 at 17:59
