Apple Crosscut

For nearly 50 years I’ve eaten apples. I eat my apples whole, starting by eating around the middle, then off to the non-stem end, then the stem end. Sharing an apple with me has “rules” — eat where I was going next or don’t bother. If I’m intending to share, I slice the apple with one of those slicer/corer kitchen toys where you center the thing over the stem of the apple and press down. Eight nice pieces to share amongst your friends. It seems I never cut the apple across the middle. It’s assymetrical but you get to see the beautiful miraculous star in the center.

The Arboretum’s Summerhouse has apples. Ginger Golds are an early sweet wonderful apple!
