That’s actually a super fun hobby! Reminds me of the old guy in NC trying to preserve over 1k apple cultivars. Maybe I’ll try to find some fun ones this :)
Are those two your favorite? I will see if I can find them.
I just like tasty things, but I do like thinking it helps encourage people to keep the non-industrialized apples alive.
They're both really solid choices IMO. They're pretty different than each other and both pretty versatile.
Just hit farmerstands if you got the option and if they sell them loose, just grab some of each and it's very surprising how wide a range of apples there are. Lots of good ones. Macoun, winesap, braeburn, Fuji, jazz, honeycrisp. We're pretty surrounded by farm country so we have apple festivals too where they just cut you off slices of all sorts.
