I bought some apples at the farmers market on Saturday called Ozark Golds. Last year I bought Ginger Golds (they'll be ready in a week). These apples are the best I've ever eaten. I peel the apples that I get from the grocery store because wax does not taste good. Have you ever taken a peeler and scraped the peeling of the apple (don't cut into it, just scrape it)? Wax comes off in clumps. I understand that they have to do this in order to maximize shelf life. But by the time I get an apple after it travels across the country and sits in a box for who knows how long, it doesn't taste great anymore. These farmers market apples make me sad, because there is only about one month a year in which I can get an apple that is totally delicious.
