Granny Smiths are excellent in baking because they hold their shape and beautifully balance sweet flavours with a touch of tartness.

The Granny Smith apple is well loved for its refreshing tartness and firmness (that make it perfect for baking), as well as its long shelf life. But did you know that Granny Smith was a real person?

This month, we’re particularly excited to be plucking Kanzi apples from our trees. If you’re yet to try a Kanzi apple, you’re in for an absolute treat. A cross between Gala and Braeburn, the word "Kanzi" is Swahili for "hidden treasure". It's an apple that's both firm and juicy, sweet and tart, yet relatively mild in flavour. 

We love this super simple apple recipe.  It is a treat for the kids and you can use any apple that is in season.
