The Sansa apple is an early-season favorite originating from Japan, known for its juicy sweetness and tropical aroma. It’s a natural cross between Gala and Akane, combining Gala’s honey-sweet flavor with Akane’s lively tartness for a balanced, crisp, and refreshing bite.
Sansa apples are excellent for fresh eating and make a great choice for snacks, salads, and juice. Their early ripening and consistent quality make them one of the first true signs of apple season at 1913 Kickapoo Orchard.
