Surprise! If you grow an apple tree from seeds, they are not always varietal, which means that you never know which kind of apples you will get. In meadow orchards its quite common and also noted for attracting wildlife. One apple a day keeps the doctor away: raw, cooked or dried, and because of the pectin in apples you can use it as a thickener in making jam together with other fruits.
