Default That apple you just bought might be a year old – but does it matter?

When I buy apples, it is for cooking purposes. I have two apple trees
and (in season) they give me more apples than I ever want to eat raw.
I know there's a difference, but I truly don't care one way or the
other. Variety makes more difference to me than if it's fresh off a
tree or not.
