Crispin (Mutsu)

DESCRIPTION

Crispin is an excellent dessert apple and is considered especially good in salads, but has a sweet, light flavor cooked, and it holds its shape well. They can grow quite large (a pie made with Crispin may require as few as three apples). The Crispin's skin is yellow with a slight orangey blush, and the flesh is white to pale yellow.

HISTORY

The Crispin has its origins in Japan, where it is a major variety known as Mutsu. The Mutsu was developed from a Golden Delicious crossed with an Indo, a Japanese seedling, in 1930 and introduced in the United States in 1948.
