Sunset is an apple cultivar that was developed in Kent, England during the 1980s. It is a descendant of the popular 'Cox's Orange Pippin' apple, though the other parent is unknown.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Sunset apple is medium-sized and has a round shape. Its skin is yellow with a red blush, and it has a crisp, juicy texture. The flavor is sweet with a hint of acidity, similar to its Cox's Orange Pippin parent.

Cultivation[edit | edit source]

Sunset apples are easy to grow and are known for their hardiness. They are resistant to many common apple diseases, including apple scab and mildew. The trees are compact and are suitable for small gardens or growing in containers. They are self-fertile, meaning they do not require another apple tree nearby for pollination.

Use[edit | edit source]

Sunset apples are versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes. They are excellent for eating fresh, but can also be used in cooking and baking. They make a delicious apple sauce and are also good for juicing.
