Apple Varieities

---

Our favorite apple variety we grow. Honeycrisp is a juicy crips apple that is an explosion of sweetness with a tart zing with every bite. Honeycrisp is a great apple to eat fresh, bake with, juice, and make into apple sauce. As a farm, this is the only apple variety that we juice for the apple cider that we sell.

We grow this classic apple variety. If you are looking for a very sweet apple to eat, look no further than a Golden Delicious. Grandpa Fred loved this apple variety. Golden Delicious is a great apple to eat fresh and make into apple sauce. It is typically harvested at the end of September. 

This apple variety is a Gala Elstar cross. If you want an apple that has both sweetness and tartness, just milder, then try this apple variety. This apple tends to have a milder flavor profile in comparison to other apple varieties. It also tends to be a small to medium-sized apple when fully ripe. The apple is best eaten fresh and is also great cut up in salads. Another positive for this apple is it can be stored in the fridge for a longer period of time.

Granny Smith is an older tart variety of apple. If you're looking for an apple with a good sour flavor and has been the traditional apple used for baking, look no further than this apple. Granny Smith is usually harvested in the first part of October.  This apple is also great for caramel apples during fall and Halloween. 

If you're looking for a late-season apple variety with both sweet and tart flavor profiles, look no further than a Braeburn. Braeburns are a great apple to eat fresh, they also keep their texture well, and they are a good baking apple. This apple is a solid older apple variety that originated from New Zealand.  

Fuji is a great, sweet, crisp apple variety. It stores extremely well in the refrigerator and is great for eating fresh, baking, and cutting up salads. 

It's an oldie but still an apple that ranked high in a blind taste test done here in Utah. If you want a beautiful red apple, this is an apple to consider. Red Delicious has the typical color and shape that has long been associated with apples. It is a sweet, crisp apple that is best eaten right after it is picked from the tree. This variety is also great for adding to an apple juice blend.

If you are looking for a must-try apple, look no further than this one. Ludacrisp is an extremely juicy apple, and because of its intense juiciness, it was possibly named Juicy Fruit instead of Ludacrisp. This apple is a great apple to eat fresh stores well and will develop an even deeper flavor profile as it ages.

Pink Lady is my second-favorite apple after Honeycrisp. If you're seeking a sweet, tart, and crunchy apple, this one can be eaten straight off the tree. Pink Lady is an iconic apple since it is medium to large and has unique pink color tones. It's a great apple to eat fresh, can be stored for longer periods, and is great for baking with as well.

Ambrosia is an attractive medium-sized apple with a pink-tinged orange/red blush over a yellow background. This variety originated from western Canada. Ambrosia offers a sweet apple flavor with a texture that has a softer crunch when it is bit into. Anyone who likes the Golden Delicious apple will love this apple variety. Ambrosia are great eaten fresh, cut up for salads, baked into deserts, and squeezed for juice or smoothies.

Summerset is a large red apple with a similar texture to a Honeycrisp which is one of its parents along with a Fuji apple. Summerset offers everyone a flavor explosion with every bite taken it provides the same texture and juicy explosion that a Honeycrisp apple provides with a tangier taste. This apple variety can be eaten fresh, cut up food dishes, utilized as an ingredient in baked food recipes, and juiced as well. 

If you are looking for a juicy, tender, and mildly acidic early-season apple variety Yellow Transparent is a must-try apple. This apple has a yellow skin color to it. Yellow Transparent is great to be eaten fresh, great for drying, freezing, juicing, and a great early-season apple to make apple sauce with.

If you are looking for a great early-season apple variety look no further than Gravenstine. This apple is a medium to large-sized apple with a yellow-green base color with red-orange striping across the skin. Gravenstine also offers a great flavor profile that is sweet with a tart mix and releases a fruity floral aromatic scent as well, and when bitten into is nice and crisp. Gravenstine is great for eating fresh, utilized in raw and cooked food dishes, dried, and juiced.
