My fruit group's fearless leader just sent me a link for this amazing apple: the Uttwiler Spätlauber.  Apparently it is a gene bank miracle story with the one-of-a-kind apple being saved from extinction only to be discovered as a beauty product used by the rich and famouse (the article cites Michelle Obama as a fan).

Being on the down hill side of beauty myself, anyone know of a North American source for this variety?  lol
