Questions about Golden apple
How can you stop a cut golden apple from going brown?
Toss the slices with a little lemon juice, or cover them closely so less air reaches the cut surfaces. If you are packing them for later, keep them chilled.
How should you store golden apples?
Keep them in the fridge to slow softening, and separate bruised or damaged fruit so it does not spoil the rest. For a short time, they can sit in a cool, shaded fruit bowl.
How do you choose a ripe golden apple?
Look for firm, unbruised fruit with smooth skin and a fresh, sweet smell near the stem. Avoid apples with soft patches, deep cuts or wrinkled skin.
Can you cook golden apples, or are they best eaten raw?
You can do either: they are crisp eaten raw and soften into a sweet, mild flavour when cooked. For a quick compote, peel and chop them, then simmer with a splash of water for about 10–15 minutes.
What goes well with golden apples?
Their gentle sweetness works with sharp Cheddar, walnuts, cinnamon and yoghurt. Add slices to porridge or a salad, or bake them in a tart with a little lemon to balance the sweetness.
Are golden apples the same as Golden Delicious apples?
The names are sometimes used for the same yellow-skinned apple, but “golden apple” can also be a general name rather than a precise variety. Golden Delicious is known for its sweet flavour and tender, juicy flesh.
What is the difference between a golden apple and a Granny Smith apple?
Golden apples are generally sweeter and less tart, while Granny Smith apples are notably sharp and firm. Granny Smith also has 2.8 g of fibre per 100 g, compared with 1.4 g in golden apple.
