Adam's Apples

Spigold is great for eating and for pies. Huge, crunchy, and fun, this Northern Spy x Golden Delicious cross is famous as a pie apple. At this size, according to the woman who grew this one, "You only need 3 for a pie." A big pie.

Crossing Northern Spy with Golden Delicious can get you a huge apple, at least if Spigold is any indication. This lopsided, oblate, and very slightly ribbed variety has a dull red blush streaky over a light green yellow. Its light tan lenticels look smaller in the blushed area. Unbroken Spigold feels hefty and firm with a sweet cidery aroma.
