About the Apples Used
The Wealthy Apple Tree was created by Peter Gideon in 1868 who named the apple variety after his wife, Wealthy Gideon. He created this super cold hardy tree from a mix of Cherry Crabapple seeds from Maine and a Siberian Crab Apple from his orchard. The result was a prolific producer with delicious, long lasting fruit. The apple in this recipe came from the Hoch Orchard and Gardens in La Crescent, Minnesota. Thank you for growing delicious apples on your orchard!
