Gloria Mundi Apples

Gloria Mundi apples are very large, growing up to a weight of 16 to 24 oz (450 to 675g.) They are round, with uneven sides.

They have greenish-yellow skin flushed with faint bronze.

Inside, the flesh is somewhat coarse and crisp, and is dry rather than juicy. The flavour is very faint and tart.

Some feel that this apple might actually be the same as Baltimore Monstrous Pippin apples.
