Jonathan

An All-American Classic.
Loved for generations, bold flavor and versatility uses.

Description

Michigan’s cooler climate produces exceptional Jonathan apples, known for their vibrant, striped-red exterior. This All-American variety offers a juicy flavor with a spicy tang that blends beautifully with other apples in cooking and baking.

Jonathan apples are perfect for freezing and cooking, and their nostalgic, old-fashioned taste brings back memories of childhood with every crisp bite. As a parent to the popular Jonagold apple, Jonathan continues to be a staple in orchards and kitchens alike.
