The Gravenstein Apple originated in Germany and arrived in the
United States in the 1700's. It doesn't grow well in warm, dry areas, but it has flourished in parts of California, including
the Sonoma Valley, and in Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. It's thought to be one of the best early apples for pie makers,
ripening in late August. The Gravenstein has a creamy, tart-sweet flesh, and the skin typically has a greenish yellow background
with broad red stripes.
Gravenstein Apples from August to
November. Granny Smith Apples from November to July.
