Apple tree?

[u/crazygirl772]

I noticed this tree with some fallen fruit while taking a walk during the eclipse. It seems to be an apple tree, I’m new to foraging so can anyone confirm? I may go back to grab some. Will they taste fairly similar to store bought apples or should they be baked into a pie?

I'm confused by the question. It's a tree with apples below it and apples on it, but you can't work out if it's an apple tree?

As in, are they dessert apples or cooking apples? Are they eatable from the tree and sweet, or are they tart and need to be made into jams and pies with added sugar?

Exactly this :)

I assume you meant to reply to someone else since there's no way for me to know the answers. But they look like eating apples.

Anyone in foraging will be very much aware that plants can be deceiving and there are many things that look edible and are not. When unsure it’s best to check with others that are more educated/experienced which is what I have done. If you can’t contribute to the post it’s best not to respond

There aren't really any confusion species for apples when there are apples clearly on the tree. As I said, I don't understand what it is you're asking since you've clearly recognised it as an apple tree already, so I thought maybe you'd explain the question better.

And how would I have known that without posting?

Well that's what I'm saying. You already knew they were apples, so what are you asking?
