Lucy Glo Apple
What is the Lucy apple? It’s a new variety of apple that’s a cross between Honeycrisp and Airlie Red (a red-fleshed apple also known as Hidden Rose), and embodies the best of both predecessors. A Lucy apple tastes sweet and tart with a crunchy texture, much like a Honeycrisp, but it gets its striking flesh color from Airlie Red. When you cut open a Lucy apple, the inside is mostly pinkish-red with a little bit of white.
The new variety comes in two types: Lucy Rose and Lucy Glo. The former is red on the outside and contains berry notes while the latter has a yellow skin and notable tanginess, according to Chelan Fresh, the Chelan, Washington-based creator, and grower of the Lucy.
