Kentucky Limbertwig apples

Kentucky Limbertwig is an American apple variety that dates back to the 1800s in Kentucky. The apples are medium to large in size and round to oblate. The skin is yellow, covered with red stripes of different hues. Beneath it, the texture of the flesh is juicy and crisp, while the flavors are mild and sweet.


Kentucky Limbertwig apples ripen in late fall, and when stored, they will keep for a fair period of time. It’s recommended to use the apples in desserts, baking, frying, and drying.
