  • Appendix F Specimens from 12 Heirloom Apple Varieties Collected and Submitted to the BRIT Herbarium
    Appendix F Specimens from 12 Heirloom Apple Varieties Collected and Submitted to the BRIT Herbarium (Duplicates collected and submitted to North Carolina State University and the Appalachian Institute for Mountain Studies) 9 Varieties collected from Dawkins Orchard, Celo, North Carolina, Yancey County: -Elevation: 3200’ -Terrain: Mountainous, steep east-south facing slope -Soil: Moist, moderately rocky Winter Banana- “A very attractive apple that when well grown can have a very faint aroma of fresh bananas. Winter Banana originated around 1876 in Cass Co., Indiana and was introduced as a commercial seller in 1890. Fruit is large and conical in shape. The smooth, tough skin is bright yellow with a pinkish red blush on the sun-exposed side. The whitish flesh is crisp tender, fine-grained and juicy. Ripens September to October.” [Joyner 2013] Crow Egg- “The old southern classic, Crow’s Egg (also know as Raven’s Egg or Black Annie) is distinctly different in appearance and flavor from the northern Crow Egg. Southern Crow’s Egg is a dark red, very conical-shaped apple of high quality and is identical to the variety Black Gilliflower.” The Black Gilliflower: “(Black Spitz, Crow's Egg, Gilliflower, Sheepnose, Red Gilliflower) - A very old variety dating to the 1700's and originating in the Northeast, probably Connecticut. Listed in southern catalogs as Black Gilliflower or Red Gilliflower, many apple growers believe this apple is the same as the old southern apple, Crow’s Egg. Fruit is medium to large, distinctly conical or tapered in shape, with dark red skin overlaid with faint red striping.

  • Preserving Apples, Contact Your Local County Extension Office
    OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Extension Service P r e s e r v i n g F o o d s : SP 50-446, Revised February 2015 Many varieties of apples are grown in Oregon. Good varieties for sauce and pies include Gravenstein, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty, Yellow Newton, Ruby, Lodi, Mutsu, Granny Smith, Spartan, Honey Crisp, and Melrose. Whatever variety you choose, select juicy, crisp apples which are neither too green nor too ripe. It takes about 2½ -3 pounds of apples to fill a quart jar. A bushel of apples weighs about 48 pounds and yields about 16-20 quarts of sliced fruit or 15-18 quarts of sauce. Apples may be canned, frozen, dried, and made into jelly and butter. Canning Canning Apple Slices Apples must be processed in a boiling water canner. Ask your county Extension office for time adjustments if you live above 1,000 feet. Wash, pare, core, and slice apples. Remove any bruises or decay. To keep fruit from darkening during preparation, drop into water containing 1 teaspoon ascorbic acid powder per gallon of water or crush and dissolve six 500-milligram vitamin C tablets per gallon of water. Drain. The hot pack method is recommended. Boil apple slices in sugar syrup, juice or water for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Fill hot jars with hot apple slices and cover with boiling cooking liquid, leaving ½ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles by running a plastic spatula or blunt knife between the fruit and the jar. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process in a boiling water canner: pints and quarts for 20 minutes.

  • Improvised Apple Pie (Dairy-Free)
    Improvised Apple Pie (dairy-free) Make the crust at least an hour before so it has time to chill. Some say to chill it overnight and it will be better. If you have time, do it. Ingredients for the Crust: 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour plus extra for your hands 1 stick of Earth Balance (cold from the fridge but not frozen) 1 or 2 tablespoons cold water, mixed with 1 teaspoon orange juice or other acid — plain white vinegar works too 1 pinch of salt 1 teaspoon sugar (if desired, this is optional Put the dry ingredients in a big bowl. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the Earth Balance into the flour until the particles are about the size of peas. Add a little bit of your cold water/OJ combo and mix with your hands until dough is formed. Too dry? Add more water. Too wet? Sprinkle a bit more flour. You are aiming for the consistency of Play-Doh. For my purposes (press crust) you just need a big ball. But don’t play with it! Overworked crust isn’t tender-tasting. Take a 9 inch pie pan and lightly oil and flour it. This is new this year — but I discovered it makes it a whole lot easier to get the pie out afterwards. Once your pie pan is prepared, put the dough ball in your floured pan. Flour your hands to keep from sticking to the dough and press it flat, making sure to get it up the sides.
