Looking for an apple!
in Fruit & veg
Hi all,
I'm wondering whether any apple masters could help me out. I'm searching for a variety that is at least similar to a variety which my garden possessed when I was growing up.
I only have memories to go off, but the following at least was true. I know I'm unlikely to find the specific variety of apple, but am at least hoping that others can make suggestions.
The apple was:
Deep red.
Quite sour (sweet enough, but sharp).
Grainy, snow white flesh (but firm).
Red veins inside (Not really red flesh, but clear red veins throughout).
Very strong smelling.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I hope to recapture my youth!
Thanks!

Please keep suggestions coming as I will likely just buy a few and hope for the best!
They are deep red/purple and those that get the most sun do have red in parts of the flesh, but they're quite sweet
There a page from google here with some images that may trigger a memory.
I only wish I could recapture my youth so easily
