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.
