Red Fleshed Apples!

At Hocking Hills Orchard, here at the Four Seasons Cabins, we grow many different varieties of Apples, Pears, Grapes and other fruit.

The apple varieties in this group all have flesh that ranges in color from bright pink (Pink Pearl) to beet red (Clifford) to pink stained (Taunton Cross) to orange (Apricot Apple)! Another unique thing about the apples in this group is that their blossoms range from solid light pink to solid crimson pink as compared to the white blossoms of other apples. Imagine biting into a bright yellow apple and seeing bright pink! With these apples you can make pink apple jelly, pink apple cider and pink apple pie! The flavors range from sweet (Pink Pearmain) to acid (Pink Pearl) just like other apples. More than just a novelty, they are great eating.
