Granny Smith apples originated in Australia in 1868 when Mary Ann (Grannie) Smith found a seedling growing in her backyard garden. This was the same place where she would often toss French Crab apple cores. The seedling bore apples that Grannie Smith eventually took to market.

Growers in Washington state began growing Granny Smith apples commercially in the late 1960’s. Today, Granny Smith is one of the most well-known apple varieties available. Stemilt harvests Granny Smith apples in late September and early October. The apple’s unique green color and tart flavor make it a great selection for any baking recipe.
