The Haralson is a popular apple variety known for its crisp texture and tart flavor. Developed in Minnesota in the 1920s, it is a cross between the Honeycrisp and Keepsake apples. Haralson apples are typically harvested in late September and are excellent for both eating fresh and cooking. This apple variety is characterized by its red and green skin, making it visually appealing. Haralson apples are also known for their long storage life, allowing them to be enjoyed well into the winter months. They are often used in pies, sauces, and other desserts due to their balanced sweetness and acidity.
