Grimes Golden: If you are a Golden Delicious fan, try the parent, Grimes Golden. A clear, deep yellow skin covers a fine grained, spicy flesh. Very juicy and excellent for cider. Its tender flesh keeps it from holding up well for baking. The Grimes Golden's exceptional flavor keeps it a favorite dessert apple of many. Discovered in Brook County, Virginia in 1804 by Thomas Grimes.
