I thought I’d share some photos of this years apple crop. The Kidd’s Orange Reds have some watercore but the flavor is still nice. The Egremont Russets aren’t quite ripe yet but we are getting a few windfalls. It’s the first time I’ve tasted a russet. I was picking up a fruity taste, a tiny bit like fruit salad. Most were slightly under ripe still. I have heard some apples improve with storage, for example it can bring out some aromatics or sweetness. What is the best way to store apples to bring out flavor? And how long should they be stored before eating? (no doubt this depends on the type of apple).
I keep my apples in a plastic bag in the fridge and often put some moist paper towel in the bag with the apples.

This is supposed to be Golden Delicious. I have never seen red on Golden Delicious but they have had a lot of full sun.
