Our pesky homework struck again, and we didn’t end up going on our planned adventure on Sunday. We did go and collect some apples from our favorite farm stand on Saturday. Derek bought a whole mess of local cortlands and out did himself with an apple crumble and a few little apple galettes.
My dad always talks about ‘winesap’ apples. We bought two and tried one today. It had a great crisp texture and a nice tart and sweet flavor. The only downside for me was the slightly chalky taste. We’re looking forward to trying the rest of the apples.
Here are the different gourmet, antique apples we bought.

So far we’ve only tried the winesap.

We’ve been to this farm stand many times. People are always buying pumpkins but the pile never gets any smaller.

Derek filled 6 barrels…
…but there are still so many leaves on the tree.
Logan,Thanks for the “shout out” on winesaps. Sorry to hear about the chalky experience. Winesaps are typically hard to find. My source was Southeast Nebraska and Northwest Missouri. Fell in like with your colorful and robust images and nifty popup captions (descriptors?). Thank you!
