Fireside Apples

Fireside are somewhat tall, large-sized apples, growing up to 3 inches (7 ½ cm) wide.

They have somewhat tough green skin flushed with bright red, with occasionally a bit of orange.

Inside, the juicy, crisp, somewhat coarse flesh is white or off-white, occasionally tinged with green.

The mild taste is a balance of sweet and sour.

The apples ripen in October.

The tree is hardy.

Cooking Tips

For fresh-eating, salads.

Storage Hints

Stores well.

History Notes

Fireside Apples were developed by the Minnesota Horticulture Research Center (Excelsior Fruit Breeding Farm) from a cross between McIntosh and Longfield apples. Introduced in 1943.
