I grew up on a farm in Michigan. The apple orchard was planted around 1920. We had apples I have never seen for sale in a store. The Wolf River apple was super large and great for pies, but too hard for just eating. The Snow Apple was tiny with crimson red skin, super white flesh with bright red streaks throughout the white. It made pink applesauce. Our Transparent apples were soft, bruised 1:26:16 easily, ripened first, were yellow with brown freckles on the skin that was so thin you could nearly see through them. The deer would come out of the woods to chow down on the ones that fell on the ground.

Apples 🍏 Interesting 🍎
Use orange juice to prevent browning or pineapple juice! I like it better than the sour lemon juice!
Interesting… I learned a lot.
So fun!
