Here are some apples that don't turn brown because the gene that codes for polyphenoloxydase has been supressed. That means they look fresher and appetizing longer, and self-digest slower than normal apples. I wonder if you'd get a different color cider from these...
"But are they apples now?" Well, yes, given that apples today are nothing like those once found in the wild.

@8zu Yeah, it's sad that genetic engineering has become limited to giant evil corporations that ruffle left-wing feathers. There used to be goverment-sponsored projects as non-profit national laboratories - Atomic Gardening was about food independence post-WWII.
But it's getting cheaper and more accessible; there are startups working on animal-less meat, cow-less cheese and other advances that would disrupt several environmentally-destructive and cruel agri-industries.
