White Pippin Apple
White Pippin is a greenish-yellow winter apple grown across the Midwest in the nineteenth century, long discussed alongside — and sometimes confused with — the Newtown Pippin. Crisp and mildly tart with good keeping quality, it was valued for both dessert and market before fading from commerce. It is preserved in the USDA collection as a once-common keeping apple.
