Empire Apples

Empire apples are red, juicy, firm, crunchy and sweet. We have already been gathering them during September and October for fourteen years. This delicious apple cultivar will be in good usable conditions until January. Empire apples are excellent for eating and salads, and good for sauce, baking, pies and freezing. We root for these apples as an ideal lunch-box apple, not least because it does not bruise easily.
