Crimson Gold Apples are a larger and sweeter crab apple veriety with yellow and red blushed skin. They have high sugar content
and acidity, creating a balanced and bright, sweet-tart flavor with subtle notes of fruity spice.
Crimson Gold apples are larger than most crab apple varieties and are a hybrid cultivar that showcases a round, oblate, to conical appearance. The apple's skin is smooth, taut, and thin with a faint sheen, and some fruits may display a brown freckled surface, a cosmetic trait caused by specific weather conditions. The skin also has a yellow-green base, eventually turning golden yellow, covered in patches of dark red, ruby-toned blush, and a faint bloom. Underneath the surface, the cream-colored to white flesh is firm, semi-coarse, and aqueous, showcasing a crisp, crunchy consistency, fracturing into large chunks when bitten.
