Lucy Rose Red Fleshed Apple

The darker skinned selection of the Lucy apples, Lucy Rose has deep red skin and bright red flesh and a strong berry flavor.

A very exciting red fleshed apple variety that came out of a breeding program in Washington state that was looking for apples with a deep red flesh but a sweet fresh eating flavor. They reportedly crossed red fleshed varieties with Honeycrisp to get these amazingly delicious new varieties that are called Lucy apples. We’re huge fans of red fleshed apples and are amazed at what a deep berry flavor both Lucy Glo and Lucy Rose have to them. You can taste the rich anthocyanin content of the flesh in your first bite!
