A Granny Smithapple and the cross-section of another. This
cultivar originated in
Australia in 1868 from a
chance seedlingpropagated by Maria Ann Smith (1799–1870), from whom comes the name. Granny Smith apples are crisp, juicy, tart apples which are often used for cooking, especially in
salads because the slices do not
brown as quickly as other varieties.Photo credit:
