Reminds me of growing up in PT. Breeze, Lake Ontario. We kids would ride our bikes through the apple orchards. I remember my mother baking apple pies, yum. So many apples. Can hardly find Rome Beautys and the 20 Ounce, which really was that large. Then there was a little apple tree way away from the orchards, kinda a rogue apple tree. Unnamed but the little apple tree had the best little apples. Most folks don't know that at least back then apple cider was made from the drops, those apples that fell to the ground and somewhat rottening was made into delicious cider. Myself, I used to purposely bang apples on a hard surface so it turned brown, bruised and tasted like cider, lol.
