This apple is originally from the Netherlands and has a tart, sprightly flavor. It is a superb cooking apple and is the only apple considered suitable for making authentic strudel. Boskoops picked later in the fall are much sweeter and are excellent for fresh use. Very large apple greenish-orange, lightly russeted skin.
