NY is known for its apples and we grow all kinds of varieties here and people in these parts are quite the connesuriers of apples.

“NY is known for its apples and we grow all kinds of varieties here ...”

Thanks for posting that. I spent most of my life in Wayne County. We make a special trip back there each fall just to buy fresh ripe apples.

I also spent some time in the Apple Country of Washington. The folks saying apples look good but have no flavor are obviously talking about Washington Red Delicious. Yuck.

The best apples in the world come from orchards within 10 miles of the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Lots of flavor, many varieties from which to choose.

Many people are surprised to learn that NY State is the second largest producer of apples.
