Sunburn?

The "Katie" apples are starting to ripen, however we had rain in the night and the apples are coated in raindrops.

This variety of apple is particularly susceptible to sunburn which is caused by the raindrops acting as little lenses.

If they do get burned, then the spots turn black and make the apples a little unsightly.  Hopefully they will dry off quickly and we will get nice pristine apples this year.

As I do not actually like apples, I am not inclined to run out with a cloth and dry them all off!
