Can dogs eat apples?
Plain apple flesh is a common treat for dogs and most handle it fine in small amounts. Leave out the core and the seeds, and slice the fruit rather than handing over a whole apple. Every dog is different, so ask your veterinarian before you add anything new to the bowl.
What is a Prune Plum?
A prune plum is a small oval plum with dense, sweet flesh and a pit that lifts out clean. It holds its shape when cooked, which is why it shows up in tarts, cakes and preserves far more often than round eating plums do. Michigan prune plums run a short window in late summer. See what else we grow on our stone fruit page.
What apples are best for pies?
You want a variety that holds its shape and keeps some acid through the heat. Jonathan, Ida Red and Rome all do that. Golden Delicious breaks down softer and sweetens the filling, which is why plenty of bakers blend two varieties instead of picking one. We ranked every variety we grow in our guide to the best Michigan apples for pie.
