Why You’ll Love Empire
Empire is a practical all-purpose apple for a busy household. Its crisp, juicy flesh and balanced sweet-tart flavor make it appealing for fresh snacks, lunchboxes and salads, while its firmer texture also works well in pies and apple crisp. Use part of the case for everyday eating and part for applesauce or baking. Empire offers familiar New York apple character without the softer bite of McIntosh, making it a useful choice when you want one variety for several jobs.
Why Choose the 1/2 Bushel Case?
The 1/2 Bushel Case is a practical value choice for families and home cooks who want a larger quantity of Empire apples. Use the supply for lunchboxes, salads and everyday cooking, with a plan for refrigerating the apples and enjoying them while their quality is at its best.
Important Shipping Information
Unlike our foam-protected gift boxes, 1/2 bushel cases are packed much like commercial apple cases. This helps keep the package economical, but there is a greater risk of bruising in shipment. If appearance and maximum protection are most important, particularly when sending a gift, we recommend choosing one of our Empire Gift Boxes.
All apples are sold by volume or count, not exact weight — a 1/2 Bushel Case holds approximately 15–20 lbs, usually 32–50 apples depending on size.
Shipping & Storage
Shipped fresh from the farm to your door. Refrigerate promptly after arrival to help preserve Empire’s crisp texture and juicy flavor. Keep the fruit protected from pressure and check it regularly during storage.
