Golden Delicious apples are easily recognizable by their golden-yellow skin and crisp, juicy flesh that offers a perfectly balanced sweet taste with subtle honey undertones. Originally discovered in West Virginia in the early 1900s, this apple variety has become a staple in American orchards and kitchens alike.

Their naturally sweet profile means they require less added sugar in recipes, making them an excellent choice for health-conscious bakers and cooks. These golden gems truly shine in baking applications, particularly in apple pies, crisps, and tarts where their sweet flavor and ability to hold their shape during cooking make them ideal. Golden Delicious apples are also perfect for making homemade applesauce, apple butter, and fresh apple juice. When cooking with Golden Delicious apples, they pair beautifully with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, as well as complementary ingredients such as caramel, vanilla, and brown butter. For fresh consumption, they make excellent additions to fruit salads, cheese boards, and lunch boxes.
