    Episode Description

    I really love apples — even more than a beautiful pastry or fine chocolate (which I love just fine as well) but apples just have it all!

    They have that sweet burst of juice, and if the apple is my kind of apple, you also get that burst of tart. The juice quenches your thirst, and chewing the crunchiness of it is so satisfying. The sound of someone biting an apple will send you scurrying to the market to find one of your own. I’m hoping that just reading this description will be enough to send you looking for an apple — but what type to buy?

    That’s the thing about apples — how can they all be so apple-ey, and still be so different? Some apples are sweet and cloying, some tart, some good for baking, some better for eating in the orchard. Some apples that are used for hard cider are not even fit for fresh consumption but are used for cider only. Is there another fruit that has such a range? There are entire websites dedicated to helping you decide.

    And — I have a new favorite — the Waltana. This is an apple that was created by Albert Etter (yes, one of those Ettersburg Etters), and Tom Wrigley has produced a Red Waltana — and that is my new favorite. A burst of juicy tart deliciousness and I might be in apple heaven. A walk in Tom Wrigley’s orchard and there’s no doubt I’m in heaven. Give all apples a try — they each have something unique to offer us.
