Lucy Glo apples are the dessert of apple eating, if the Fuji was the main course then the sweetness of the Lucy Glo is definitely the way to end the night. This post will go over all things Lucy Glo, where they came from, the taste, and how to find them.
Where did this apple come from
Lucy Glo apples are a hybrid between the Honeycrisp and the Airlie Red Flesh. Lucy Glo apples are quite unique because they have red flesh on the inside. The red flesh makes this apple stand out from the rest.
The apple was invented by Bill Howell in Washington, United States. The outside appearance is yellow with green at the stems, which gives the apple a normal first impression. It’s a medium sized apple with a spherical shape.
What does Lucy Glo Apples Taste like
At first the apple appears to be boring, but upon taking that first bite you will experience quite the surprise. Immediately Lucy Glo tastes like apple berry flavored candy! Very high sweetness, high tartness, low crisp and medium juiciness. The crisp in some cases, makes the apples feel more crumbly.
Eating this apple feels like a treat because the sweetness levels are so high. Lucy Glo apples are one of the sweetest apples I have ever eaten. I highly recommend giving this apple a try if you see it at your local market.
