Newtown Pippin Apple
The Newtown Pippin (also called the Albemarle Pippin) originated in the early 1700s in Newtown, on Long Island, New York. A firm, green, intensely aromatic apple with a sprightly sweet-tart flavour, it became one of colonial America's most celebrated dessert and export apples — shipped to England and admired by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson alike.
