An annual event in October for the Roswell Lions Club. Our apples are purchased from Mercier Orchards in North Georgia in 20 lb. boxes and sell for $30/box. The varieties we sell can change from year to year. Apple varieties sold in the past include:
Mutsu (Crispin) – A sweet tart apple. Holds shape well. Especially good for pies, baking apples, and applesauce.
Fuji – An all-purpose cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet. Aromatic with a sweet tart flavor, crisp and juicy even after storage. Good eating apple.
Golden Delicious – Holds shape well and are especially good for pies and baked apples. Also good for slaws and sauces.
Granny Smith – A good all-purpose, tart eating and cooking apple. Makes delicious applesauce.
Red Delicious – Crisp and sweet eating apple
Rome – Good cooking apple.
Fried pies come with the following fillings: Apple, Black Berry, Blue Berry, Cherry, Peach and No Sugar Apple. Our fried pies are a treat at $25/dozen. Only sold by the dozen in a box and no more than two varieties per box. Very similar to the pies sold at The Varsity.
