These are my favorite apples. I have a small tree in my yard that produces a large amount of apples. They get soft when they are ripe, but still have a great flavor. If you eat them while they are still green & firm they taste similar to a granny smith apple. Great apple for eating, apple sauce & pies.

In the late 1940's through the 1950's this variety was grown along with about a dozen others by our neighbor in Indiana. Since it was the first variety to come on about June-July my brother and I anticipated its arrival. We often ate it way before it was ripe even when the size of a dime. We also preferred to eat it before it turned yellow and softer. Our mother baked pies with it when mature but still green and made apple sauce with it when full yellow. Big green ones were good to throw at each other.

I just made apple butter from this variety and it is splendid. Family loves it. I wouldn't select this for eating as it is a bit soft. Didn't travel well, which is probably why you never see it for sale. We found them at various orchards in Bayfield WI at the end of August - just beginning to come in.
