Golden Russet apples are a beloved heirloom variety prized for their dense, crisp flesh and rich, complex flavor. Their rough, russeted skin ranges from golden bronze to greenish-gold, hinting at the old-world character within. The flavor is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy with notes of honey, pear, and spice—often described as “cidery.” Excellent for fresh eating when fully ripe, Golden Russets truly shine in cider making, baking, and drying, thanks to their high sugar content and concentrated flavor. A true taste of autumn tradition.
