Grimes Golden is one of the most multi purpose apples. It's great just slicing up and eating. It also holds it's own when baked and it can be good for making applesauce with.
The Grimes Golden apple is known for its spicy-sweet flavor, firm texture, and rich golden color. Believed to be a parent of the Golden Delicious, this heirloom variety delivers a smooth balance of sweetness and subtle spice that shines whether eaten fresh or baked into pies and crisps.
Its creamy flesh resists browning, making it excellent for slicing, drying, or adding to salads. Grimes Golden apples also press into a beautifully aromatic cider, full of old-fashioned apple flavor that captures the essence of the Kickapoo Valley harvest season.
