I don’t know how old they are or what kind of apples they bear. Their history is as mysterious as their unpredictable apple production, bountiful one year and barren the next, yet full of fragrant blossoms each spring. During the occasional seasons of bounty, my husband and I pick bushels of apples from the two trees close to the house and peel and slice them, carefully carving around the occasional worm. Small and mostly misshapen, they pale in comparison to the shiny red orbs in supermarket bins, but they add a delicious tang to apple sauce and sweetened desserts. The third tree, a tall, solitary figure in the meadow across the road, has not been pruned for generations, and its broad, twiggy head becomes a cloud of white blooms each May. It is a milestone in our landscape and a welcome sign of renewal. One of its largest branches, thicker than a man’s thigh, has split off the main trunk. Bent like an elbow with its broad forearm resting on the ground, it still lives and sends up new shoots and buds every spring. The meadow grasses grow around it, and by the end of summer when the apples appear, the thicket is so dense that only deer can taste the fruit. This trio of trees is a remnant of apple history, a microcosm of the orchards that grew on nearly every New York and New England opposite: An old apple tree near the author’s home is a survivor of the orchards that grew on nearly every New York and New England farm in the 19th century. 7 apple farm in the nineteenth century. They are the distant descendants of European transplants introduced in the early years of colonial settlement. But their story is much older than the orchards of America or Europe, and the tale is still unfolding. Both meat and drink, apples have been a staple of the human diet for millennia. Eaten out of hand, baked into pies and tarts, boiled into sauce, butter and jelly, pressed for cider and juice, distilled into brandy, vinegar and wine, and dried for a long-term food supply, they have sustained, delighted and intoxicated people throughout the world. The pruned branches of the tree were also put to good use for the intricate parts of early machines, the cogs, wheels and shuttles. Small branches, aromatic long after cutting, were turned into spoons to stir apple sauce and churn butter.1 From the time of Charlemagne to Johnny Appleseed, America’s apple evangelist of the nineteenth century, planting apple trees was a requirement for new settlements. It not only provided food and wood, but also helped people to put down roots, investing in the future of their new towns. Commercial cultivation has become a global enterprise, with America and China as the largest producers, yet small orchards still An old sign at a Vermont apple orchard that has been operated by the same family for several generations. 8 Introduction Red Delicious apples, temptingly red and shiny, nonetheless usually reach the market bland and mealy. have fresh apples for sale at their own farms, as farmers nearly every- where did centuries ago. I buy apples from several small orchards within a short drive of our home, eagerly awaiting the start of each autumn when the fruit snaps with taste. For years I avoided super- market apples, particularly the omnipresent Red Delicious. Shaped like fat teeth, they are not at all toothsome, usually too sweet and cottony after months in cold storage. This staple of the school cafeteria has come to represent everything that went wrong with modern apple breeding. But I have seen apple cultivation change within my own lifetime, from the mass production of a handful of uniform varieties to the increasing appearance of apples with improved taste and texture. Australia’s Granny Smith, New Zealand’s Gala, Japan’s Fuji, Minnesota’s Honeycrisp and several other recent intro- ductions – and especially the growing number of small orchards reviving heirloom apples (those dating back at least 50 years and still untouched by modern breeding) – are finally giving the Red Delicious serious competition. 9 apple Yet supermarket choices are still limited, and shoppers face higher prices for the tastier apples. My market carries more than a dozen kinds of apple, plus a few organic alternatives – a better selec- tion than the two or three standards of the 1960s, but nowhere near the thousands of varieties available before the apple became a cor- porate product. In the autumn, when trees in the nearby orchards are dotted red with apples, the supermarket also offers bags of the local fruit along with those that have travelled thousands of miles across the country and from other continents. But finding a tasty, healthy apple is still a challenge. I was dis- heartened to read a supermarket sign from one major producer boasting that its latest variety had reached the top of the apple sweet- ness chart, the pinnacle known as ‘supersweet’. Even apples, supposedly the healthy alternative to junk food, are part of America’s unrelenting promotion of sugary food. And the push towards ever-sweeter apples has made a mockery of ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, since Golden Delicious, one of the world’s most popular apples, has fewer nutrients than many other varieties, according to a u.s. study in 2003. 10 Introduction the sweetest apples often have the fewest nutrients.2 More troubling is the apple’s recurring place on the ‘Dirty Dozen’ list, the annual rating of supermarket fruits and vegetables with the greatest pesticide residues. It has been on the list, compiled by a u.s. environmental organization, for years, and in 2011 and 2012 reached the unenviable position of number one.3 Things are looking more hopeful, though, for those wishing to find a better apple – and in some unlikely places. Apple picking in country orchards has been a tradition for generations of city dwellers, but even the Big Apple is experiencing a new apple movement, one that harks back to an old appreciation for the fruit’s diverse flavours and textures, without today’s chemicals. In 1758 New York City sent the first shipment of its own commercially grown apples to Europe. Benjamin Franklin, a diplomat in London at the time, had asked for his favourite, the Newtown Pippin. The first commercial orchard in the colonies, now located in Queens, a borough of New York City, had raised the variety in about 1730 from a chance seedling, known as a pippin. It became New York’s most famous apple, and was in demand in Europe and America throughout the next century. Queen Victoria loved its piney flavour so much that Parliament lifted the import duty on it until the First World War.4 But as New York growers followed the trend towards producing uniformly red, cloyingly sweet apples, the tart, green-tinged Newtown Pippin dis- appeared from grocery shops and farm stalls alike. Today, young urban gardeners are planting Newtown Pippin saplings in New York’s inner-city neighbourhoods and parks, reconnecting New Yorkers to their apple history.5 The same is happening with other heirloom varieties in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Boston and Detroit. The newfound zeal for heirlooms (also known as heritage or antique plants) is not limited to apples. Gardeners, farmers and foodies in many parts of the world are planting old varieties of fruit and vegetables to savour their lost taste. Whether your desire is for 11 apple Auguste Renoir, Still-life with Apples, oil on canvas. Apples are the most prevalent fruit in still-life painting. freshly picked sweetcorn or vine-ripened tomatoes, supermarket produce can never compete with the taste and nutritional value of seasonal food from your local farm stall or garden. So why all the fuss about apples? Because apples have always represented more than something we eat.

    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

Orono, Maine. June, 1911. 8 2 8 5 INTRODUCTION The following pages represent an effort to trace the causes of the changing procession of varieties of apples grown in Maine. To this end the history of fruit growing in Maine has been carefully studied, largely through the Agricultural Reports from 1850 to 1909 and the columns of the Maine Farmer fran 1838 to 1875. The inquiry has been confined as rigidly as possible to this state, out­ side sources being referred to only for sake of compari­ son. Rather incidentally, soil influences, modifications due to climate, etc., have been considered. Naturally* since the inquiry was limited to printed record, nothing new has been discovered in this study. Perhaps a somewhat new point of view has been achieved. And, since early Maine pomological literature has been rather neglected by our leading writers, some few forgot­ ten facts have been exhumed.

  • Kale Apple Cake
    RECIPE Hero Vegetable: Kale Kale Apple Cake Ingredients: 2 cups fresh kale, stems removed and roughly chopped 2 cups flour 3 apples, cored, and sliced into wedges 1 ¼ cup sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, melted ½ cup milk 3 eggs 1 Tbs lemon juice 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp salt ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional) powdered sugar for sprinkling(optional) Directions: Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease then fit a round sheet of parchment paper inside the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, set aside. Steam or lightly boil the kale for about 2 minutes. The kale should be tender. Puree the kale leaves in a blender with a spoonful of water until smooth. Don’t add more water as the kale will release its own juices. (Now if your blender isn’t breaking up the kale easily, you can use the milk at this step instead of later to blend the kale if it makes it easier to puree) In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs, kale puree, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk, mixing until the batter just combined. Pour in the cooled melted butter and beat until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. (If the batter is thick, this is ok. The apples will release juices as the cake bakes.) Arrange the apple slices into the batter, pushing them into the batter slightly. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the cake batter. Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake (not into an apple) comes out clean.
