Nobody respects the York Apple

Its a hard apple, like a Winesap but not tart at all. They are difficult to grow, being finicky about pruning and spraying. The man told me it was their first good crop in years. But when you get it right , you know it. The bite is hard, like its not ripe but then with persistent chewing the smooth taste like its been spiked with cream and butterscotch comes out. Appropriately its a desert apple.

Route 29 north somewhere near Lynchburg. Its called the apple shed and the very knowledgable man also gave me a fresh Winesap just for the sampling. That one was tart as rhubarb and also a wonder.
