Introducing A New Summer Pie Apple 🍎 From Seed, Integrity

This new summer pie apple is named Integrity. It is a cross between Williams Pride and Vixen. It ripened here in mid to late august and just into September. It is a pretty red color and takes a high polish. Scab resistance is unknown, but I'm optimistic. The flavor is mild, but pleasant, fruity, and tart. The white flesh has pink tinges sometimes, but it is not a major feature of the apple. When cooked in pie, the slices hold their shape very well, without being tough or rubbery. In its season, it seems to be the berst pie apple on the homestead, preceded by another Williams' Pride x Vixen apple, Twang, which overlaps in the mid August, and followed by gravenstein and other September apples.

Integrity apple variety is released primarily as a cooking apple, though people who like tart apples might like to eat it out of hand. I plan to use it in further breeding efforts toward more early summer cooking apple with increased flavor and hopefully red flesh.
