Mind-boggling, how many varities of apple there are. I go into our farm market every year and buy whatever they have; it seems to change yearly even though they are home-grown, and I’m always finding yummy options that my supermarket doesn’t have.

Farmers’ markets are great for that. My dream is to get a taste of varieties that are long-gone from popular use. Real pie apples, for instance.

One of the benefits of living in Upstate New York is the availability of so many varieties of apples.
My favorites are Honey Crisp and Cortland.
