History and Origins
Sweetie apples are a relatively new variety that combines the best traits of two beloved apple varieties: Gala Apple and Braeburn. Developed in New Zealand, Sweetie apples inherit the sweetness of Gala apples and the crisp, dense texture of Braeburn apples. This combination has quickly made Sweetie apples a popular choice for those who appreciate a well-rounded, naturally sweet apple.
