Crispin

/ˈkrɪspɪn/ noun

Definition

A type of apple variety with reddish-yellow skin, known for being crisp and juicy; also spelled 'Crisp in'.

Etymology

Named after Saint Crispin, though the connection between the saint and apples is unclear—possibly from a breeder's name or decision in the 20th century when this variety was developed.

Kelly Says

Crispin apples are sometimes called 'Fuji apples' overseas, showing how the same fruit gets completely different names depending on what country's market developed it first—food naming is basically marketing history!
