I always learn so much from this blog! Thank you, P.J! I'm grateful there are so many varieties of apples, and especially for the orchardists who preserve the heritage varieties. How often folks comment on their preference for the apple variety that their mom used in her baking. When you bake for your family, you create a legacy of taste preferences. (Although I'm not sure anyone in my family is going to want to recreate my delicious kale salad. Probably this only happens with pie!)
