Heirloom Paula Red apples are an early-season variety known for their crisp texture and tart flavor with a hint of sweetness. Their skin is a vibrant mix of red and yellow, sometimes with a slight green blush. The flesh is tender and white, making them ideal for both fresh eating and cooking. These apples are often used in pies and sauces because of their ability to break down quickly when cooked. As an heirloom variety, Paula Red apples are cherished for their unique taste and connection to traditional apple cultivation.
