One of the early harbingers of autumn, the Ginger Gold apple is indeed a seasonal star. Originating in Virginia, this unique apple variety combines the snappy tartness of a Granny Smith and the sweet mellow flavors of a Golden Delicious, perfect for eating out of hand or incorporating into favorite dishes.
Although retaining some of its tartness even when cooked, the Ginger Gold is an exceptional apple for baking. It maintains its shape and firm texture – making it ideal for use in pies, tarts, and cakes. Those looking to impress guests with a delectable dessert may find this apple fits the bill.
