SnowSweet is a crisp sweet-flavored new apple variety, with bright white flesh and crimson red skin. The apples ripen quite late, mid-October, and the it is worth checking samples before picking as the best and sweetest flavors seem to develop in the last week or so.
Cut slices turn brown only very slowly, so this is a useful variety for salads.

SnowSweet is particularly recommended for growers in cooler climates of the northern US and into Canada. It is considered to be cold-hardy to zone 4a.

SnowSweet was developed by the University of Minnesota, the home of many cold-hardy apple varieties. It is a cross of Sharon and Connell Red and was introduced in 2006.
