Apple 'Granny Smith'

The ultimate cooking apple! Characteristic bright green skins cover the creamy white flesh which has a distinctive tart flavour. Apple 'Granny Smith' is a favourite for its texture which retains its shape after cooking - perfect for tarts and pies. This is an excellent choice for adding to salads as it is less likely to brown than other apples. For those who enjoy a sharp flavour, these fruits can also be eaten freshly picked in November.
