yee-ha, Arkansas.

this is a variety of apple called Black Arkansas. it is a lovely dark color and seems to come with an oily,waxy covering. i've only ever seen them in the produce department at my co-op.

it was very popular, and customers would come back and by bags of them. i didn't find them too miraculous, but they were good. not too tart but not supersweet. i noticed the inner flesh had a greenish tint to it.
