Bethelridge, KY (Zone 6a) | December 2004 | neutral
Also known as: Winter Paradise, Grandmother, Wine Sweet.
This apple probably originated near Paradise in Lancaster County,...Read More Pennsylvania and was first mentioned in 1842. It grows well at altitudes of 1200 to 1500 or higher but does not do well in lower altitudes. Very sweet with a pleasant spicy undertone in flavor. Fruit is medium to large with dull green or yellowish skin, sometimes having a slight brownish or purple blush on the sunny side. The white flesh is tender, juicy and sweet and is sometimes said to have pear-like flavor. Ripens in September and is a good keeper.
This is the apple my mother-in-law always preferred when making dried apple slices or snitz. They were very flavorful!
