We had a mini apple festival at the Gibbs Farm Museum here last
weekend. There were some impressively large and red Wolf River
apples and they also recommended that they be used for making dried
fruit.

As several folks have noted, 'Wolf River' is not a
fresh-eating apple and no one should plant it expecting to use it
for that. However, many oldtimers planted it to use for dried
fruit. The mealiness which is so unpleasant in fresh use becomes
a virtue when this apple is used as it was intended, for making
dried apples for storage and later use.
