History:

Northern Spy is a late-season apple with a red blush over a yellow-green skin and yellowish flesh. It holds its shape and flavor in cooking and is ideally suited in texture and taste for many processing uses, including slices and sauce. Obstbaum Orchards considers this apple its top choice for pies due to its large size and firmness.
