They sound like Golden Delicious to me.

 

Suggestions: applesauce, apple butter. Both can be made

and frozen (or canned, if you have the equipment and

know-how). Freezing is much easier.

Hi Pat,

 

> They sound like Golden Delicious to me.

 

They look like Golden Delicious, but GD is my favorite apple, and

believe me, these aren't those.

 

Okay, thanks. I sure have my doubts, though. I've put just one of

these apples through my juicer with lots of other fruit/veggies and

can't even drink the juice.
