WOW! The apple growers must have had a really great crop this year! You know I'm just kidding :), but as I was browsing the clearance aisle at Marshall's, this apple cried out to me and begged me to take it home, so I did. It was pretty "bruised" and the entire apple was painted red, even the stem and leaf. After a fresh coat of spray paint, and giving the leaf and stem some color of their own, I think it looks good enough to eat! Next to it sits an actual "Paula Red" apple. I wanted you to see the scale. This variety is okay, but it's a little soft. My very favorite is a "Macoun". It's like a Macintosh in terms of crispness, but it's a little sweeter, and they're around only for a short while. Can't wait to find some in the store! Love to eat them raw, topped with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, or baked in the oven with a little butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg under a pastry crust - YUM! This apple is going outside for the season, amongst the chrysthanemums and pumpkins. Can't wait to see it all put together!So, "how do you like them apples"?

What a great looking apple. Stuff like that - "bruised" decorations, I just pass on by because I just can't think "I can make it look so much better". You have an eye for these things. Love it!
