This apple dates back to 1803, in Nottinghamshire, England, where it was originally planted by a young girl. It was and remains the most popular culinary apple in England, for its high acid and ability to cook into a creamy, light puree. It’s excellent for pies, baked apples or combined with other apples for a crisp. This apple is very high in vitamin C. A green, rubenesque apple with a red cheek. The tree is also a vigorous grower, out pacing many other varieties grown from the same rootstock.
