SweeTango®

Chestnut Crab
Taste: The Chestnut crabapple is larger most crabapples and packs a lot of flavor for its size. This fist-sized fruit is 2-4 inches in diameter- perfect for kids and taking on-the go. The coarse yellow flesh is sweet-tart with slight nutty flavor. Hints of pear, honey, orange and vanilla may be noticed. The tiny apples ripen in September with light yellow skin blushed with orange-red. Chestnut crabapple makes wonderful cider and brandy.
