Jonathan Apple and Fresh Apple Cake Recipe

Writer's picture: Kim LapacekKim Lapacek

If I had to pick just one apple to make applesauce with for the rest of my life I would choose Jonathan with it's skins on. It makes a beautiful and delicious pink applesauce!



Approximate Ripening Date: September 6th


Flavor: This tart-sweet apple is probably the most "appley" apple I've ever tasted. When it's first picked it is definitely on the tart side but as it mellows a bit of sweet will sneak in there. It is a snappy, hard, classic apple and also Jared's Grandma's absolute favorite.


Baking: The Jonathan cooks down into a tender apple. Leave the skins on when cooked not only makes a pink sauce but it also tends to sweeten the appley flavor.


History: Chance seedling from the Esopus Spitzenburg tree.
