About Ludacrisp®
Crazy Good!

Ludacrisp apples are a captivating innovation by the Midwest Apple Improvement Association (MAIA), originated through the open-pollination of the Sweet 16 apple variety. This creative breeding effort has led to an apple that is not only distinctive in flavor but also appealing in its appearance. The apple’s development is a testament to the ongoing efforts to enhance fruit characteristics, ensuring that they meet both grower and consumer expectations for quality and taste.
These apples typically reach maturity and are ready for harvest in mid to late October, making them an excellent addition to the autumn apple season. As a result of their unique attributes and the timing of their availability, Ludacrisp apples offer a refreshing alternative in the market during a time when many are looking for new and exciting flavors to enjoy during the fall months.
