The Akane Apple is an excellent early season apple with an unusually good balance of sweet and sharp flavors. The flesh is firm rather than crisp, but with plenty of juice. Akane is a smaller sized fruit and keeps its shape in cooking.
Akane was developed in Japan in the 1930s, and represents an unusual marriage of the classic English early variety, Worcester Pearmain, and the high quality American heritage apple variety, Jonathan – and it is a marriage that works very successfully. It is popular as a garden apple variety in the USA, yet is little-known in the UK, despite the fact that it has a very "English" flavour.

Keep apples refrigerated at about 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Fruit bowls are beautiful, but your apples won't stay crispy for long on the countertop
