Great idea, I am sure your niece will enjoy it. We are surrounded by orchards here. There are also many single trees everywhere, way more apples than people can here can use.
They are very tasty. But apricots were the ones that tasted radically different when we had them here straight from the tree compared to what we get in supermarkets. Apricots followed by plums.
Apples are so much better direct from the tree. Looks like it's a good apple year in Moldova, too. Do they use them to make cider, or are the apples only for eating and cooking?
They don't make cider here, they have too much grapes and are all about wine (every family in the village makes their own). Apples are mostly for eating and cooking here.
Apples are much better direct from the tree but the biggest difference in taste I have seen between straight from the tree and form the shelf at Waitrose must be be apricots.
