Item Description

 The Fuji apple has it all: super sweet, super juicy, and super crisp! If you love a crunchy sugar bomb that squirts juice when you cut it, try the Fuji.

People have told us that they've successfully kept our Fuji apples into June or July using this refrigerator storage method or something similar. It's an excellent winter keeper. 


Despite their good looks and great flavor, we found Fujis to be a disappointment in pies - too sweet and actually crunchy even after a thorough baking. 


Best Uses:

fresh eating, juicing, applesauce 

Good for Storage?
Excellent


Growing Practices






We don't wax any of our fruit, but from time to time, there may be a waxy coating on the apples you pick up from us. You may find this surprising, but the wax actually forms on the apple naturally; it’s not something that was sprayed on or added after harvest. This wax is a protective coating that forms on the apples by design to waterproof the apples’ skin, protecting the fruit from rain and also locking in the apple’s natural juices.

The Very Best Apple Pie You Can Make: What Apple Variety is the Greatest?

Apple pie; the dessert that made it on the 'All American' list, alongside baseball and hot-dogs. I would argue that apple pie is the best of all three patriotic symbols. But what really makes a good apple pie? Or, more than that, what takes it from 'good' to 'great'? The apples, of course! We took a stab in the kitchen, to see which apple variety makes for the best pie.

We used the same pie recipe each time; relying on minimal amounts of sugar (1/4 cup) and cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon) to give us an unhindered taste of the apples themselves. The only variable was the apple used. What we found surprised us!  Click HERE to see what we learned! And, after all, what's a pie without a crust, so HERE is a link to a recipe for the flakiest crust you ever had!
