“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, but most apple seeds don’t grow where they are dropped - they are carried away by birds or rodents and seed elsewhere. Also, most apples aren’t true to seed anyway - plants grown from seed don’t bear the same fruit
Arkansas black is one of my favorites, because it dries/dehydrates so very, very well. It tastes like apple-flavored candy when you’re done with it.
I haven’t been able to find it aside from once, three years ago. :(
Apples are such great fruit. They might seem a little boring, but they keep well, and there are so many varieties. Almost the perfect fruit.
