Dutch Mignonne
Culinary / Dessert apple
Thought to have been raised in The Netherlands. It was brought to England in about 1771 by Thomas Harvey of Catton, Norwich. It was introduced in about 1820 by George Lindley as Dutch Mignonne as its true name was not known. Fruits have firm, juicy flesh with slightly acid, little sweet, faint aromatic flavour.
