Small with light green skin and a reddish-orange blush, Lamb Abbey Pearmain is one of the most delightful apples in the world. Sweet and lively with a hint of pineapple, and the perfect size for a lunch box or snack.
Store in the refrigerator.
Two hundred years ago, Mary Malcomb planted an apple pip, or seed, in her garden in Lamb Abbey, England. The fruit from the tree that grew was crisp and delicious.

Love the heirloom apples! So much more taste and complexity than the store bought varieties, and a great change from our standard go-to Mac's, which are often the easiest to find locally grown. Not every apple has been a hit, but we've loved most of what we've tried over the last two years. Cox's Orange Pippin, Esopus Spitzenburg, Roxbury Russet, Rhode Island Greening, and Ashmead's Kernel (we really missed these this year!) were all outstanding in different ways. You kinda have to love apples with names that sound like show dogs or indie label album titles. Thank you for sharing these!
Not every heirloom apple I've had is good -- but Cox's Orange Pippin is a winner. Firm and crunchy, more tart than sweet, but well balanced. This is one to reorder every week it's available.
Oh man, those are some good apples.
We love the chance to try all the heirloom apple varieties! Not one bad apple, we have enjoyed them all. Thankful they are eco grown as well.
