About four years ago, I adopted an apple tree at an annual tree give-away event in Anchorage. I don't know for sure what kind they are, but the varieties that year were Norland and Parkland. Apple trees don't produce for several years, so I was excited last year to get almost a dozen small apples. This year I thought I had hit the jackpot -- more than four dozen! The photograph doesn't give a sense of scale, but the largest apple was about the size of a racquet ball. I ate a few raw because they did have a good sweet and tangy flavor. Then cooked up the rest with some highbrush cranberries for a few jars of cranapple butter.
