Fortune is a large, red Mac-type apple with some green striping; its crisp, cream-colored flesh, both sweet-tart and spicy, has a sprightly flavor. It is an excellent fresh-eating, pie, and sauce apple that is ready for harvest in late October, and it has good storage life.

Love Caramel Apples? Want to smell like one?
Ladies and gentlemen, are you the type of person that is psycho over smelling like a fruit? Well, I am! And, I am an absolute sucker for all things green applish (is that a word?), so when I saw that I could smell like a green apple dipped in caramel? I was all over that and I was instantly hooked! Now, let's be honest here folks, I am not only addicted to the smell, I am also obsessed with the pureness of the soap (the fact that I can smell like my favorite dessert and have touch-me-all-over-skin with no artificial crap in it? Now can you see why I am addicted?).
Born in India and raised in the United States, Anupy Singa grew up visiting her grandfather's childhood village in Punjab, India. With her grandfather is where she first learned to cook traditional, spicy Punjabi-style food. This passion is what compelled Anupy Singa to leave her journalism career to teach her daughters to appreciate good Indian food and to begin a blog on www.indianasapplepie.com, as well as author several best selling Indian cookboods. Indian as Apple Pie soon became her now Chicago based company of the sauces she learned to make while growing up. Anupy Singa aims to celebrate both her Indian roots and American upbringing with good food.
The flavor and size of Fortune apples make them ideal for fresh eating, as well as pies and tarts. The crisp apples hold up when baked and can be used in any recipes calling for tart apples, like Macintosh or Empire. Pair with Golden Delicious apples for applesauce or dice and mix with celery and herbs for stuffing pork tenderloin.
One way for a girl to predict who she would marry was for her to peel an apple, keeping the skin in one long piece, then throw the peel over her shoulder. The apple peel would take the shape of the initials of her future spouse.
A young person wondering what the future had in store for them would cut an apple in half to examine the seeds. If there were two visible seeds that meant early marriage, if three could be seen it indicated wealth in the future.
And the last apple fortune-telling game. At midnight on Halloween, if a girl eats an apple in front of the mirror, her future spouse will appear in the mirror beside her. There are many variations of this ritual, for example, the girl should be brushing her hair, or the apple should be in a certain amount of pieces, but eating an apple in front of a mirror is the common denominator. I will be sure to never eat an apple in front of a mirror for fear that a strange man will appear, can you imagine how creepy that would be?

Where is Powel Jobs leaving her mark? The window has been using the fortune to fund various philanthropic efforts, including founding an organization aimed at creating social change. But she also has other expensive hobbies such as art collecting and has donated significantly to political campaigns.
Powell Jobs also uses her fortune to donate to dozens of political campaigns. She has supported candidates like Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Michael Bennet. After Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, she went on to donate over $600,000 to his campaign.
It is wasteful to make Fortune axes just to collect apples because any tool will work on blocks that can be mined by hand and give drops, and axes do not mine leaves faster (only swords and shears do, neither of which can get Fortune, plus shears directly harvest leaves).
Another reason not to use Fortune on an axe if you are playing in a version before 1.8 is because a Fortune III, Efficiency V, Unbreaking III diamond axe costs 37 levels to repair with a single diamond (5624 XP for a full repair), instead of a much more reasonable 33 levels (1032 XP) to repair one without Fortune with a new axe, which can be bought from trading (not that either are an issue for me but the majority of players depend on XP farms and don't like mining).
If you get it as a secondary enchantment in 1.8+ it doesn't really matter since repair costs are no longer affected by enchantments, but I would still not try to get Fortune as a primary enchantment, plus golden apples are much less useful since 1.9 (even in 1.6.4 I've only ever used them to cure a couple zombie villagers when starting a new world; I currently have nearly two stacks looted from dungeons).
There is one possible use for a lot of apples for me - crafting enchanted golden apples to store gold more compactly; I'm closing in on two double chests of gold blocks and when converted to Notch apples that much gold would only take up half of a single chest and require 864 apples (even with Fortune that would require mining more than 100,000 leaves, and considering that you need to spend time mining them it would be much faster to just chop down trees and let the leaves decay. If all the wood I've harvested came from small oak trees I'd have gotten more apples than I'd need).
