Has anyone seen Alice?

A milk carton with a photo of a Lady Alice apple. The caption says, "Missing"

I have come to count on the excellent Lady Alice apple in late March and into April.

There's been no sign of her this year.

Alice comes into her own in storage. There have been some complaints, but handled right her great crunch and malty notes make Alice a top pick for spring.

If you can get her.

Remember Alice? This is a song about Alice.

  1. Just bought a half dozen here in Michigan. Like the flavor, but I find the skin on the tough side.

  2. That's surprising - I've been on a steady diet of Lady Alices (ate 2 today) since early March, Trader Joe's sells them 6 in a bag.

  3. I was just wondering about this! I keep checking my local store for Lady Alice -- they were excellent last year -- but not finding any. I did not see them at Trader Joe's, either.

      Most of the images here are mine. If not, credit is given.

      (I'm trying to recall if there are any uncredited public-domain images in this blog. I don't think so, but maybe.)
