Cripps Pink is a cultivar variety of apple widely available in the Northern Hemisphere. It was originally produced by Apple and Pear Australia Limited by crossing the native Australian apple Lady Williams with a Golden Delicious in order to combine the best features of both apples. The company sells the highest quality grade of the apple under the trademark of Pink Lady. The apple has a distinctive pink "blush" mixed with a green "background" and has a firm crisp texture with a sweet taste.
