The Story

What makes it special

SnapDragon is a newer variety developed in New York. As a Honeycrisp descendant, it delivers the signature juiciness people love, along with a spicy-sweet flavor and subtle vanilla notes.

It’s an ideal apple for eating out of hand, just keep a napkin nearby, because the juiciness is real. SnapDragon also pairs beautifully with peanut butter or caramel.

Its pretty pinkish-red hue makes it a standout on a cheese board or veggie platter.
