'Crimson Gold' is either a modern cultivar of applecrab, meaning that it is a cross between a crabapple and a domesticated apple, or it is a cross between two apple cultivars, 'Newtown Pippin' and 'Esopus Spitzenburg'.[1] It is intermediate in size between an apple and crabapple,[2] about the size of a golf ball.
It is one of the last apples to be developed by the American breeder Albert Etter in 1944, who named it 'Little Rosybloom'. Etter died in 1950 before completing the patent filing, and it was later rediscovered and renamed as 'Crimson Gold'.[3][4]
The skin of 'Crimson Gold' has a yellow background which is visual only at the shaded areas of the skin and around the stem. Otherwise it is covered with a ruby red. Flesh is crisp, with a balance of sweet and tart. Delicious for fresh eating, and also good for baking, retains its shape and texture even with high temperature.[4]
