Zabergau Reinette Apples

Zabergau Reinette are medium to large-sized, roundish, occasionally lop-sided apples.

They have yellowish-green skin with orange flushes and red stripes, with such a heavy covering of rough, yellowish-brown russet that some say it looks more like a potato.

Inside, the flesh is crisp, off-white, finely-textured, and firm. It has a sharp taste with a balance of sweetness and tartness. The flavour mellows in storage, becoming even nutty tasting, some feel.

The tree starts to produce good crops while the tree is still quite young. Its own pollen is sterile.

Cooking Tips
