Wickson Apples

The Wickson is a crab apple, but unlike most crab apples, it is sweet enough be eaten without cooking. In fact, the Wickson scores exceptionally high in both sugar and acid, making it one of the more complex apple flavors. It’s small size makes it popular with children, for it appears to be a wee fairy apple when fully mature.

It was developed by California plant breeder Albert Etter in 1944 in Ettersburg, California, as a cider apple. However, it is a great fresh eating apple and delightful in baked goods as well.
