Three GoldRush apples from the PA Farm Show retail apple stand. The apples are relatively small, with yellow-green skin, a reddish blush, and small gray dots. I tasted one and liked the sweet, soft, slightly tart flavor which I found unique and very refreshing. Maybe the crabapple in the GoldRush family tree!
