I live in FL and can't find a grocery store that sells them. They are the perfect size and flavor for caramel apples.

In my place (middle Europe) "everyone is sure" that this is our's old heirloom apple and that it originates from here. We named it by several synonyms connected mostly with Christmas or with cakes. I have one such plant in garden and really, it is good mostly for cakes ;) Our variety is much more red than green probably because of warm summers but same tart and splashed, white fleshed with some green points inside. I pick it for storage at end of October.

I first noticed some bright red orbs from the road, and thought they were a late plum. When I stopped to look, I was stunned to see so many beautiful fruits, and tasted one, which wasn't bad at all, for a crab apple! The house is for sale, and I hope that I can pick some, as I plan to make jelly from these apples. I have three mature apple trees on my property which I'm trying to identify, and have planted five more. This year brought our temperate climate an amazing amount of fruit! Sadly, most will go to waste. Thanks for this great blog, Adam.
