Wolf River Apple
Wolf River is a very large American apple that originated near the Wolf River in Wisconsin around 1875. Famous for its enormous size — a single fruit could reportedly make a pie — it has greenish-yellow skin blushed red and mild, soft, coarse flesh best suited to baking and sauce rather than fresh eating.
