The Evercrisp.

A superhero variety cultivated in Pataskala, Ohio by Lynd Fruit Farm, with an "in-your-face candied-apple sweetness" and "a background tang and monstrous crunch" (Bloomberg panel of taste testers). This cross of Fuji's tartness and Honeycrisp's sweetness boasts longer storage life and improved texture than either "parent" variety.​

Enjoy this "localest of local" apples, developed right here in Licking County and grown by Bauman Orchards, in your YB share this week! And in this classic, simple apple crisp.
