Granny Smith apples have a bright green skin that is often lightly speckled. They are a firm and juicy apple with thick skin. Granny Smith apples grown in colder climates will often take on a yellow to pink blush.Granny Smith apples are often used in baking because of their high acidity and ability to hold their shape when cooked. Try baked into sweet or savory pies, tarts, or meat pastries; add to savory bread stuffing, risotto or potato pancakes. Their sweet-tart flavor is a great addition to soups, smoothies and sauces. Because they are slow to brown when cut, they are perfect diced and added to fresh preparations such as salads and salsas or sliced and paired with cheese.

They were joined by their son, Shawn, in 2005 after he graduated from Penn State with a degree in Horticulture, and in 2009 by Melissa Allen, their daughter. She brought her two small daughters Isabelle and Cammy who have already begun to show an interest in agriculture. They are members of Pennsylvania Association of Sustainable Agriculture and practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control disease and pests in the field. IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment.
