The Story

What makes it special

Born from a cross of Honeycrisp and Fuji, EverCrisp inherits the best of both parents. It’s firm and sweet with a powerful crunch, perfect for eating out of hand, slicing into salads, or packing in a child’s lunch.

EverCrisp apples tend to be a bit broader in shape, with naturally autumnal red coloring that can look slightly subdued on the shelf. But they more than make up for it where it counts: the eating experience.

This late-harvest variety typically goes into storage and appears at retailers in winter. A short rest in storage lets EverCrisp mellow, enhancing its flavor and softening the intensity of its bite.

Frequently Asked

Good to know

My EverCrisp apples are very firm. What can I do to make them easier to bite into?

EverCrisp is one of the firmest apple varieties. To soften the bite a bit, let them mellow for a week or two in your refrigerator's crisper drawer. They store extremely well. Kept cold, they'll last a long time while still maintaining their crisp texture and great flavor.
