The Egremont Russet is a mid-season variety of apple that produces beautiful russet-skinned medium-sized apples with a delicious nutty flavour. Introduced in the Victorian era this apple has a good balance between sweetness & sharpness giving it its classic English status. It has a moist rather than juicy texture & this paired with the delicate flavour makes it reminiscent of a firm pear. This also makes it a very versatile fruit working well in salads as well as being a popular partner to cheese. A great variety of apple for your garden.
