Pixie Crunch Apple

Descended from the Golden Delicious and Red Rome apples (amongst many others) this apple is prized for its crisp texture and disease resistance. The apple is small- medium is size with green base skin that blushes to a dark red color. Its flesh is yellow and extremely crispy. Its chosen name, Pixie Crunch, reflects these traits.
