"100 Things To Do with Rotten Apples"

My father-in-law was right when he told me that we are all eating rotten old apples. They are picked in the fall and sit around in the fridge (cooling rooms where nitrogen has been pumped in to replace air) until next fall, he said. I did not want to believe him (or maybe I just didn't want to find out because I love apples so much...), so it took me over half a year before I ventured to ask in the store...today. When are the apples that come from America picked? after much insistence they told me that they were picked between September and November. It's almost March- so... is there any nutritional value left in them?
