Now that I think of it..the unsweetened applesauce I always buy hasn't had much flavor lately either.

Try Flonase after a good saline wash...
Our Galas have that genuine apple smell.

Cortland Apples are smaller this year that is for sure. I think it has to do with the weather being so mild last year.

We’re still working through the Granny Smiths and Winesaps we picked at a local orchard - haven’t bought a store apple since August.
To: SE Mom
Don’t know for sure but a lot of the apple crop around here (SE Michigan) was damaged by early warm weather and late freezes. Then what survived was subject to a pretty dry summer.
At least when you buy a bag of apples it often has a farm name on it so you know from where it came. As far as applesauce goes who knows where the apples came from. It could be New Zealand or China.

Try Macoun apples. They are only around this time of year. Pure white crisp and not tart.

Industrial apples.
These days I buy mine fresh from the orchard and I have a couple of trees I’m grooming to produce. This year was a horror show for midwest apples.

Try PInk Lady, aka Cripps Pink. Sweet, tart, crisp, flavorful, and juicy. IMHO everything you could want in an apple.

They could be up to 3 years old as proper storage and gas can keep them that long. I suppose they could have been picked green and gassed to change color but they were not ripe like they do to tomatoes.

No conspiracy. Just this time of the year, they are picked early to fill the big demand. They are artificially ripened (I believe they are put in rooms filled with CO2 or something like that) so they are ripened without a chance for the sugars to build up.

They picked in South America months ago and stored under nitrogen until they got to the store's warehouse.
Any questions?
