The Sansa Apple is a delightful early-season variety that captures the essence of summer with its radiant red-flushed skin and refreshingly sweet flavor. Its crisp, juicy flesh combines the best attributes of its parentage, with just the right balance of sweetness and a subtle hint of acidity. Sansa Apples are medium-sized and boast a firm, smooth texture that makes them a treat for snacking. They shine in both raw preparations, like a bright, fruity salad or atop creamy, nut buttered toast, and cooked dishes where they retain their shape and impart a delicate sweetness to muffins, pies, and tarts. This apple variety is also a fine choice for pressing into a naturally sweet cider. Packing a nutritional punch with fiber, vitamin C, and various antioxidants, Sansa Apples are ideal for those seeking flavorsome healthful fruit options.
