Boskoop

The Boskoop, also called the ‘Schone van Boskoop’, is a cooking apple famed for its crisp, tart flesh. It’s perfect for stewing, turning into apple sauce or pie, and pairing with red cabbage. The Boskoop is yellow with a reddish blush on the sunny side. It’s best enjoyed during the winter months.

tips

Choose ‘Bite’

If you’d like a bit of ‘bite’ in your apple sauce or pie, choose Boskoop apples. They keep their texture and flavour perfectly, even after cooking or baking!

Storing sliced apples

You can keep sliced apples in a bowl of water with a splash of lemon juice to stop them discolouring and keep them tasty.

Use in warm dishes

Boskoop apples are ideal for preparing warm dishes like apple pie or apple sauce. Their firm texture and tart flavour work really well in these recipes.
