Heirloom Apple Varieties
Belle de Boskoop
This apple is originally from the Netherlands and has a tart, sprightly flavor. It is a superb cooking apple and comes highly recommended for making authentic strudel; this apple is a great fit for baking and cider making as it has tart taste with high acid content. Boskoops picked later in the fall are much sweeter and are excellent for fresh use; they also sweeten in storage. Very large apple greenish-orange, lightly russeted skin with a white-green flesh. Harvest in late September.
