Any Home Bakers Here?

I agree, these are the earliest apples I have ever seen. I have no clue as to what type of apple they are, the trees are ancient. The neighbor (67 years old) said he can't remember when they were planted.
It's july for goodness sake. I should be picking blackberries and produce not dealing with apples. But this is the first year I am picking them before they are overripe.

our home was originally built in 1930 the apple trees best to any ones knowledge where planted then also We have a pear I believe Bartlett and a choke cherry also
