Delicious Gravenstein Apples

If an apple a day is known to keep the doctor away, how about orchards full of a luscious taste of summer perfection – the Gravenstein apple? It’s the ideal combination of sweet and tart with firm flesh and a lovely green skin, kissed with red. To quote famed horticulturalist Luther Burbank, “…if the Gravenstein could be had throughout the year, no other apple need be grown.”

Gravensteins at the Fair

At the Fair you can find this amazing fruit, often known as Gravs, prepared any number of ways – or fresh from the tree.
