Default After years: my 1st 'home-grown' apple

"Willi" wrote

I try to breed apples since about 20 years. I got some varieties
already, but they all were 1-2 days at most durable after the harvest.
This one seems to be a durable winter apple. Slightly sour, as I like
it. How long it is storable I don't know yet. I got only one piece, and
I was to curious about its taste than to put it in a proper place to
test how long it would stay in presentable condition.

Looks like a bit of "Bitter Pit" on there Willi, that's caused by a lack of
calcium. What were the parents?
