Applications
The William Crump is primarily an eating apple. Its robust flavor makes it stand out in salads or in simple snacks, paired with a cheese such as cheddar. William Crumps last well in storage, and can remain good for up to four months in a proper cool, dry place.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
As with many old varieties of apples, the William Crump seems to be enjoying a surge of popularity in recent years. Consumers are increasingly interested in rediscovering antique apples and expanding their tastes beyond the few standard apples that have been available in grocery stores over the past several decades.
Geography/History
William Crump was developed at Rowe’s Nurseries in Worcester, England; the name of this apple supposedly commemorates the nursery’s head gardener. It was likely first grown in the late 1800s, though the first documented evidence of it is from 1908. The tree grows best in temperate climates such as that of England.
