A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the weekend and voted for their favourite apple at this year’s Apple Fair.🍎
THE WINNER IS… Ananas Reinette! 🏆

🥇 Ananas Reinette – This delicious variety praised for it size, crisp, juicy flesh and distinctive, perfumed pineapple flavour. 🍍
🥈 Cornish Aromatic – a classic English apple first recorded in Cornwall in 1813. It’s loved for its crisp texture and rich, aromatic flavour. 🌿
🥉 Pitmaston Pineapple – a charming heritage variety dating back to the late 18th century. Small and golden, this characterful apple is prized for its rich, sweet, honeyed flavour and fragrance. 🍯
🍎🍏🍎Three fantastic varieties, each with its own unique character and flavour! A wonderful reminder of the incredible diversity of apples growing in our orchards.
Did your favourite make the top three? Let us know in the comments! 👇🍏
