Appearance – What a pretty apple! All-over golden yellow coloring makes this one stand out. It’s just over 3”H but very round, definitely one of the widest ones. Flesh is a creamy yellow/white, a shade lighter than the skin.
Taste – This has a marvelous fruity flavor, with more depth than normal. Mostly tart but with a mellow sweetness and lots of juice that makes for a really nice mixture. This is a descendant of the Golden Delicious so it’s softer than some, but is not prone to mushiness either; a definite step up. I don’t think the Opal is quite hard enough to withstand pie baking but it could definitely add some depth of flavor.
