Heirloom Apple Varieties
Knobbed Russet
A lumpy, russeted apple from the early 1800’s sometimes rudely referred to as “old maid in winter.” It has a delightfully crisp, sprightly flesh with a citrus overtone, and really marvelous coloring. The Knobbed Russet has white to pale yellow skin and browns (oxidizes) slowly, making it an excellent application for salads. This is another apple we grow that originally came from England. Harvests early October, and stores well to be a unique and tasty Halloween treat.
