Here is a photo of my semi-dwarf
Enterprise apple tree. If you live within this cultivar's growing zones and are looking for an apple variety to plant, I highly recommend it. It is resistant to almost every apple disease. For me it's "very resistant" ratings against fireblight and cedar-apple rust were the deal maker since I have lost other pear and apple trees to one or the other or both before I learned to do my homework.
Enterprise When fully ripe is juicy and has incredibly complex, spicy and sweet flavor. It's better after a month in storage after being harvested fully ripe. It's supposed to ripen in mid to late October in this area, so these prematurely reddening fruits, while lovely, are a sign of something amiss. After several seasons, I learned to force harvest those (most of them don't want to come off the tree) early.
You can see some of them are pitted with black holes -- they are not always the problem however. Most of them are cosmetic at this point. But my Enterprise can get affected by Brown Rot because there are three highly susceptible Europen plum trees in my garden. If these fruits are left on the tree to await semi- to full- ripe stage one-two months from now, Brown Rot will infiltrate through the blemishes and they will become completely unsalvageable.
Some of the clusters should have been thinned anyway. So I started picking the reddest ones now. Often, those are the ones starting to show brown rot infection with watery blotchy flesh. But in early infection stage, they actually taste sweet as if they are ripe. Even the immature fruits, while tart and dry, are already flavorful -- like Granny Smith.
I trimmed away all blemished skin and flesh and cooked them up. Hardly any of the black holes go deep but some become black pinholes that I suppose must be due to cuculio or coddling moth, but I rarely find any worms/bugs inside.
I thought I was going to make apple cobbler, but these premature fruits -some with still white or light brown seeds- fell apart, so I ran the mixture (apples, sliced whole organic naval orange, ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, plum wine, elderflower syrup, honey, date sugar, brown sugar, cultured butter) through the food mill and made two quarts of applesauce.
but the apple tree is full of fruits. 
that's a toy ...
