Gravenstein apple
[ GRA-vuhn-steen ]
This crisp, juicy, sweetly tart
APPLE has a beautiful green skin streaked with red. It's in season from August to late September and available mainly on the West Coast. Although the Gravenstein is considered an all-purpose
APPLE and makes delicious pies and
APPLEsauce, it does not do well when baked whole. See also
APPLE.
