Description
Yellow Newtown Pippin is a hard, crisp pale green apple, it was greatly admired by George Washington. It is highly prized for pies and cider making. It is also a good dessert apple, but not especially good for salads, as it browns quickly when sliced. Look for Newtown Pippins in October. Not only does it store well, but its flavor improves in storage.
