Apples - Ballarat

Details

Ballarat apples are a heritage New Zealand cooking apple, known for their intense tart flavour and the way they cook into a beautifully fluffy texture.

They are ideal for apple crumble, pies, stewed apples, apple shortcake and bottling, making them a favourite for traditional baking.

Ballarats are a variety that many people remember from years ago and can now be hard to find, which is why they remain a popular seasonal apple for those who love proper cooking apples.

These are large apples, with approximately 3 apples per kg, depending on size.

When New Zealand apples are in season, it’s hard to beat the flavour and freshness of locally grown fruit.
