    Hi there, TX. When I was a kid there was an old 'pioneer survivor' Yellow Transparent Apple tree by a cellar hole in the woods on the old road-trail to our family cabin in New Hampshire. We'd bag lots of apples from the big tree. We ate some -delicious fresh, and my mom made applesauce. Similar to a Golden Delicious, but you could nearly see through the skin. A young tree of it grew near our cabin. Both are gone now. But it was great to have apples from a tree the settlers had had. The cellar hole's house was built in the 1780's by Thayer's. Lived in till 1890. One girl was in a travelling cast of Uncle Tom's Cabin, before the Civil War.

    My parents had one of this type of apple tree among their fruit trees. Your description is right on. The apple is too soft to use a hand crank apple peeler on and has to be peeled by hand. We kids would start eating them when they are still quite tart. Sprinkle a little salt on them and they were very good eating. This was in northeast Oregon USA .

    I love your videos, your knowledge and your enthusiasm. With all those 'waste' apples it looks like you need a neighbour who keeps pigs to turn them into something useful.
