A true American classic dating back to 1890, Golden Delicious has stood the test of time. First discovered in West Virginia, it’s one of the few popular apple varieties that isn’t red.
With its thinner skin, Golden Delicious is an excellent choice for baking and making sauce, and a favorite for easy snacking thanks to its tender, easy-to-chew bite.
Its flavor is gently sweet with a subtle hint of melon. While Golden Delicious is wonderfully simple on its own, it’s also helped shape the apple world as a parent of many beloved varieties, including Gala, Jonagold, Pink Lady, and Honeycrisp.
