Saint Edmund’s Pippin

Saint Edmund’s Pippins apples have greeny-yellow or greeny-gold skin, with large orangey-brown russet patches.

Inside, they have a cream-coloured flesh which is juicy, sweet and fragrant.

The tree needs thinning or the apples will grow small. The fruit tends to ripen all at once and does not store well.

The flavour reminds some people of vanilla and pears.

Cooking Tips

Best eaten fresh.
