Cox's Orange Pippen: This apple still dominates the English markets. Got its name from creator Richard Cox, a retired brewery worker in the early 1800's. The skin takes on an orange tinge at ripening. Has a juicy, nutty taste and firm cream-colored flesh. Its intriguing aroma and complex yet balanced flavor make Cox's Orange Pippen a great eating apple, but don't count it out for baking: it can also be baked into a pear-scented pie.
