BETTY & BERT SWARTZ JOSEPH, LINDA, JACKIE & DAVID WEINBERG COOKING Apple Desserts For Holidays- GLORIA KAUFER GREENE Cooking Editor hroughout history, the apple has had the role of being the quintes- sential fruit that represents all fruit. For instance, though the Bible does not specifical- ly mention a particular fruit in Genesis, painters and sculptors who wanted to depict the Garden of Eden .< chose the apple to represent the "forbidden fruit" eaten by —( Adam and Eve. And whenever a new fruit ,----( or vegetable was discovered that was round, larger than a cherry and smaller than a melon, it was often temporari- ly called an "apple" of some sort until a more suitable name could be found. Among such misnomers that have stuck until relatively recent times are Chinese apples (pomegranates), love apples (tomatoes), and custard ap- ples .(cherimoyas). Consider also, the pineapple, an "apple" resembling a pine cone. And, French for "potato" is "pomme de terre" or "apple of the ground." All this interest and favor- itism for the apple probably came about because it has been enjoyed — in one form or another — since antiquity. In fact, apple seed fossils have been found in prehistoric sites in Switzerland. As to the cultivation.of ap- ples by humankind, it is not known exactly when and where the fruit was first pur- posefully planted and bred. However, historians are sure that the apple was grown and favored by the ancient Egyp- tians. Furthermore, Rabbinic legend tells us that pious Israelite women went out in- to the Egyptian apple or- chards to give birth so their newborn sons would not be found and slain by Pharaoh's men. Some say that this is the reason Ashkenazic recipes for Pesach haroset always in- cludes apples. After producing fruit, apple trees require a minimal two- month period of dormancy — such as during cold weather — to restore their strength for another season. Therefore, early apples did particularly well in the cooler parts of the world such as in Europe. Because apple seeds do not breed true to strain, many dif- ferent varieties were easily developed. (lb reproduce ap- ple trees that have fruit iden- tical to the parent type, it is necessary to graft part of the original tree onto new rootstock.) When the early colonists first came to America, they brought with them apple seeds and graftings, and the fruit quickly took hold in the New World. One man, John T
