Thank you Cox Orange Pippin for being such a wonderful apple, so tender and crisp and thanks to Richard Cox who created you as a seedling of the Ribston Pippin some 200 years ago in England. I also love this apple dues to its connection to a lovely fall afternoon visiting castles with my uncle sometime in the late seventies. We bought a whole crate of these at the 'Schloss Dyck' and kept eating them all day. I hold this memory close to my heart, because my uncle died much toy young. It is special to think of him when going apple picking on a similarly beautiful autumn day enjoying a couple of Cox Orange.
