Apples, Pink LadyŽ or Cripps

Apples, Pink LadyŽ or Cripps
(Apples, Pink LadyŽ or Cripps) Pink lady apples have been marketed as a premium eating apple, but a lesser quality pink lady is also marketed under the name "Cripps Pink".  Pink lady apples are crisp with a sweet-tart flavor, but the storage apples sold in supermarkets tend to lose their crispness due to lack of proper refrigeration. Pink Lady apples originally came from Australia, and is a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams.  One of the interesting things we have observes with pink lady apples is that some of the apples have fine pink veining in parts of the whitish flesh of the apple.  According to Marcie Brandt, the "keeper" of the trademark, the correct name is Pink LadyŽ brand, which is not a variety; however, we have seen them sold as a variety in the markets, and listed as such on the internet. Confused? So are we.  Whatever their correct name is, they are good to eat.  We could not find any specific nutritional information for Pink LadyŽ or Cripps apples, so we've included only general apple nutritional information.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
