Formerly known as Albemarle Pippin, the Newtown Pippin apple was discovered on Long Island in 1759. It is one of the oldest original U.S. apple varieties, helping to launch the U.S. fruit export industry. Newtown Pippin is a distinctive green, often with yellow highlights. Its aromatic, tangy flesh makes the Newtown great for use in pies and applesauce. Primarily a processing variety, most U.S. supplies are used commercially. Newtown Pippin is typically available from September through December.
