Its bright red apples have a balanced sweet-tart flavor that becomes deeper and more intense as they mature, while the firm flesh holds its shape exceptionally well when heated, making them especially well suited to pies, crisps, sauces, and other cooked preparations. Fruit develops primarily on short fruiting spurs and ripens in mid to late fall.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFragrant white flowers open in late spring, later than many apples and with less overlap with early-season frosts.
