One of the things I know as a country person born and raised is that, when you see an apple in the grocery store with perfect skin, the apple will cost too much and will have no taste. But when you find apples with honest skins like this, the apple will be good, and cheap. These are local apples from the Danbury farmer’s market. These particular apples are tart pie apples, but I eat ’em raw tossed with honey and cinnamon.
