I forgot about the Keepsake I had on the tree by the lower garden. This was a graft done in 2017 (?), essentially a wild seedling that I bark grafted to Keepsake. It has produced one fruit in each of the past two years and has always been stolen before I got to try them. I had 6 fruits this year and picked 5 to bring to the house. I tried one, it’s very sweet, not very complex but pleasant, and crispy crunchy as you would expect, quite dense, small to medium in size. I checked the brix and it’s only 12-13, but tastes like it would be much higher. It seems like every listing for this variety states this is an “unattractive” apple, but I’m not seeing that:
