I have "Black Twig", Winesaps, Staymans, Northern Spy, Nittany, Cortland, Crimson Crisp, Empire ( if I didn't eat it ) in my refrigerator and possibly some others. The sellers at the Farmer's market had many varieties and the late fall is the best time for apples. There are a lot of apples at the grocery store like Pink Lady and Jaz and Encore which are still rather uncommon.
Jonathans are good apples for cooking, I am told. I hope you have good sweet rolls. They are a little too tart for me but many other people like them.
I bought two "Sheep Nose" apples this fall which were new for me. The first one tasted harsh and green, so I sliced it up and fried it with butter and brown sugar and ate it for breakfast. I waited two weeks and tried the second one and it still tasted green, so I fried it too. It was great that way. The seller later told me that "Sheep Nose" apples were an acquired taste and that the apples were probably completely ripe.
I was surprised to learn that Winesaps and Staymans are different varieties -- I thought they were color variations . They taste similiar.
