Granny Smith


This Australian native was discovered in 1868 as a chance seedling by “Granny” Anne Smith of Ryde, New South Wales. One parent might have been a French crabapple. Grannies are known for their distinctive green flesh – which sometimes bears a red blush – and their very tart flavor. An all-purpose apple, Grannies work equally well as a snack or in pies and sauce. U.S. Grannies are harvested beginning in August and are available year round.
