Winecrisp apples are a modern, disease-resistant variety developed through the Purdue–Rutgers–Illinois (PRI) breeding program, specifically designed to thrive in Midwest climates. Bred for exceptional flavor, storage quality, and natural disease resistance, Winecrisp is quickly becoming a favorite among orchard growers and home gardeners alike.

Flavor and Texture

Winecrisp lives up to its name with an ultra-crisp texture and dense, juicy flesh. The flavor is complex and refined—rich, slightly spicy, and wine-like with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. It’s a sophisticated apple that appeals to both casual snackers and true apple connoisseurs.

Versatility and Uses

This is a true all-purpose apple. Winecrisp excels in fresh eating, baking, cooking, cider-making, and juicing. Its firm flesh holds up beautifully in pies and crisps, while its bold flavor shines in sauces and ciders. Even better, it stores exceptionally well, maintaining quality and crunch for months in cold storage.

Disease Resistance & Orchard Performance

Winecrisp is naturally resistant to apple scab, fire blight, and cedar apple rust, making it an excellent low-spray or organic-friendly option. Its strong disease resistance, combined with consistent production and excellent storage life, makes it a reliable performer in both home orchards and commercial plantings.

Perfect for Your Family

For families wanting high-quality, nutritious fruit with less maintenance, Winecrisp is an ideal choice. Its crisp texture, rich flavor, and long storage life make it perfect for snacking, lunches, baking projects, and fall traditions—straight from your own backyard orchard.
