It's in the bag

A bag of tiny organic Crimson Golds from my supermarket. 'Tis the season, apparently, for apples sold in bags. In addition to the above Crimson Golds, my local supermarket is also selling bags of Junami apples.

Crimson Gold **

This rescued variety was once lost, and some mysteries remain. Though appearance varies, these are mostly medium-large to large and moderately ribbed, with a beautiful orange-red blush over dull yellow (or on some, yellow-green). On one smaller sample the blush is a more-saturated red and a cap of russet seems to spill over the blush side leaving big fat spatters on the blush. Lenticels for the most part are small. They fade into the blush but are dark and easy to spot against the unblushed peel.
