The flesh of the Jonagold apple is creamy yellow in color and very crunchy. The apple is sweet, juicy, and easy to eat off the tree. This juiciness makes it an excellent cider apple.
A cross between Jonathan and Golden Delicious, the Jonagold apple blends the perfect balance of sweetness and lively tartness. Its large size and honeyed flavor make it a favorite for fresh eating, baking, and pressing into cider.
Jonagold apples bake beautifully—holding their shape while developing a rich, caramelized sweetness in pies and crisps. They’re also a popular pick for fall apple lovers who enjoy a bright, refreshing crunch.
