Lady Alice apples - ever heard of them? I had not. Aldi’s had them yesterday - I wasn’t impressed with their Pink Lady, Gala & Fuji selections, so I tried the Lady Alice. Boy, am I glad I did - just delicious ... crispy, sweet, with a tart edge. This is the best apple I’ve had all year, including the fresh ones I’ve gotten during 2 orchard visits. I am headed back to Aldi’s today to get a 2nd bag.
Here is an article on the Lady Alice which was discovered in 1979 at an orchard near Gleed, Washington, as a chance seedling and is a registered trademark by the Rainier Fruit Company. It is named after Alice Zirkle, a co-founder of the company.
