Apple season can start early with Rave®! Its the first to harvest in Washington state and lines up perfectly with back-to-school timing, fitting perfectly inside lunchboxes and back packs. Or, chop it up for a quick and healthy after-school snack for the kiddos!
Our Favorite Ways To Eat It!
Rave® apples might have a snappy attitude, but its not enough to take the heat of the oven. Rave® tastes the best when eaten fresh! Think salads, charcuterie boards, or simply sliced up alongside some nut butter.
Where Does It Grow?
Stemilt Rave® apples grow in central Washington state where long, sunny days color this apple with unmistakable fuchsia color. Rave® is also grown in New York by YES! Apples, Michigan by Applewood Fresh, and throughout Canada.
How We Pick The Best Ones
We carefully hand-pick Rave® at just the right time when sugars are high and ready to delight with its signature sweet and tart balanced flavor.
Putting Freshness & Flavor First
Because Rave® takes after its parent apple Honeycrisp, it has thinner skin (which gives it that snappy crunch) so we must take proper care of it from the tree to our warehouses. Once Rave® is ready to be packed into a bag or box, we adjust the packing line to carefully move it along, ensuring each apple is in tip-top shape!
