Maiden’s Blush Apples

Maiden’s Blush are medium to large-sized apples.

They have pale yellow skin with a deep red blush. The skin is tough but thin and smooth.

Inside, the flesh is slightly off-white, tender, and crisp.

The apple ripens anywhere from July to September, depending on location. It ripens over a period of a month. Its tart flavour mellows the more it ripens.

The tree requires 4 to 6 years till it first bears a decent crop, but then becomes a reliable heavy annual bearer.

Maiden’s Blush Apples are not the same as the Irish variety of apples also called “Maiden Blush.”

Cooking Tips
