Granny Smith on the tree

Granny Smith

Granny Smith apples are a gorgeous colour of green. They have a slightly harder texture and are just a little less sweet than other apples. Starting as a chance seedling in Australia in 1868, they’re thought to have been a hybrid of the European Wild Apple and a domestic apple.

Granny Smith features

TASTE: tart & tangy

FLESH: extra firm, crisp

BEST FOR: fruit trays, baked desserts

Quick tip for Granny Smith

While a raw Granny Smith is tart and tangy, once baked they’re much sweeter – which makes them ideal for cooking.
