Hawaii Apples | Local Apple Variety From Sebastopol, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Hawaii apples

Hawaii is an American apple variety that was introduced as a cross between Gravenstein and Golden Delicious in Sebastopol, California around 1945. The apples are large and round, and their clear yellow skin is waxy to the touch. Beneath the skin, the texture of the flesh is crisp.


These apples have a distinctive pineapple flavor, and when grown in western regions, they become exceptionally sweet. Hawaii apples ripen in late fall, and it’s recommended to use them in desserts and baked dishes.
