Description

The Pink Lady Apple is the sophisticated choice for those who appreciate structure and balance. Ripening late in the season, it develops a stunning rosy-pink blush over a green-yellow base. Its flesh is exceptionally firm and crisp, offering a uniquely vibrant flavor where bright acidity and clean sweetness meet in perfect harmony. This remarkable balance allows it to perform brilliantly in both the hand and the oven, maintaining its shape and tangy-sweet character in tarts, galettes, and savory dishes. It’s an apple with poise and purpose.

  • Known for its very firm, dense, and crisp texture that resists bruising.

  • Flavor is a trademark lively, tangy-sweet balance that intensifies in storage.

  • Develops a beautiful pink to red blush over a greenish-yellow background.

  • A late-season variety that requires a long growing season to develop its full color and flavor.

  • Excellent for both fresh eating and cooking, as it holds its shape superbly when baked.

  • Self-pollinating but benefits from cross-pollination for optimal yields.

Flavor Profile:

  • Flavor: A lively, tangy-sweet balance with bright acidity.

  • Texture: Extremely firm, crisp, and juicy.

  • Best Uses: Outstanding for fresh eating, salads, and all forms of baking where a firm, non-mushy result is desired.

Faqs

Q: Why does my Pink Lady apple taste more tart than sweet?
A: Pink Ladies require full sun and a long, warm growing season to reach peak sweetness. If picked too early or grown in a cooler season, the acidity will be more prominent. Proper storage also enhances sweetness.

Q: Is "Pink Lady" the same as "Cripps Pink"?
A: Yes. 'Cripps Pink' is the cultivar name. "Pink Lady®" is the branded commercial name for Cripps Pink apples that meet specific high-grade color, sugar, and quality standards.

Q: Do they store well?
A: Exceptionally well. Their firmness and balanced acidity give them one of the longest storage lives of any apple, often lasting in prime condition for several months.
