Gravenstein is a heirloom dessert and culinary apple, first named in 1797.
Gravenstein is a triploid variety and produces a large vigourous tree. It is a relatively hardy variety, withstanding difficult conditions.
The origins are uncertain but mostly associated with Denmark, often called "Graasten". It is thought the mother tree was raised at Graasten Castle in Denmark.
The fruit has a tart flavor, and it is normally used as a cooking apple, for apple sauce and cider. Not a good keeper.
