Wow! Your own apple orchard Nice.
Not so much for the Candied Apples but a good Baked Apple is always a treat. Never eaten Apple Pan Dowdy, but Apple Pie is delicious.

Down here, rather than apples, the go-to is peaches.

I love peaches also. I planted one Peachtree. I figure since they ripen all at once, one would be plenty.

Actually I never cared all that much for apples. But the property came with three apple trees. And then when looking at what kind of fruit trees to plant, apples keep the longest. I planted in Arkansas black, that will keep for months in a cool place. In fact it says they aren’t very good when you first pick them but they will sweeten as they are stored. So that’s the main reason I have three more apple trees. And a peach, apricot, and pear. And an almond and two hazelnuts.
