I bought a bag of Apples that don't taste good...eat them or throw them away?

[VWAmTele]

Return them.

Anyone notice that when a new apple variety comes out it is usually terrific, then gets less appetizing? Galas were great in the beginning but now I feel they have bred all the goodness out of them. Have experienced it many times.

Seems like it doesn't it? Galas seem to now have thick skin. They seem to have bred them all to have that for shipping. I have a small Gala tree that is 20 years old. Good little apples and bug resistant compared with the bigger tree nearby. Spoil fast after picking though.

The bag of Galas that I just finished...from the other store and a different brand ..were delicious.

When you say they don't taste good, do you mean flavorless?

I mean not completely flavorless but not a good flavor. Nothing like the last bag.

Cook. I would make make chutney.

 

[Knows3Chords]

Make some hard cider.

PIE

Exactly this! Precisely my thoughts!

 

[2HBStrat]

I can't see making food that ideally you would want to taste good out of a food that tastes bad. They say that when you cook with wine use a wine that you like the taste of.

Galas are terrible; I would toss them. I have not bought one in decades. Stick to Honeycrisp.

Pie takes too much effort. Apple crisp!

Honeycrisp or Granny Smith would be my preference over Gala, though.

I recently had my first Granny Smith - YES!

Compost.

PIE

Apple Crisp with double thick streusel on top. This is exactly the situation that sugar was designed for. Sugar was originally used to disguise rotten meat.

Cheese
Peanut butter
Smoothie
Squirrel food
Pretty much I agree with any of those.

 

[stantheman]

Slice into 1/4's to Food Processor to
Compost Pile.
Done.

Deer food!
Perhaps cut em’ up (the apples) first.

When I was a kid, we had a couple of apple trees that were way past their prime. As a result all of the fruit was basically inedible, at least fresh, so my grandmother sliced and fried them in an iron skillet with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup until tender. They were good, then, I guarantee.

Chuck 'em outside for the deer. Turkeys come around at work and chase whoever's got the apple. It's pretty funny.

This is it. In the winter the deer used to come up to the sun room windows which my wife would open and toss apples to them.

 

[danielreid27]

take 'em back...

Shoe leather would taste good with that treatment!

Toss them in the yard or a vacant area, woods or fields, some critter will eat them for sure.
