Pear Varieties at Apple Annie's

Asian pears are ripe and ready to eat when picked. They have a crunchy texture and are incredibly sweet and juicy. Enjoy fresh or substitute Bartlett's in recipes. Bartlett pears ripen off the tree. Let set at room temperature or wrap in newspaper and store in a cool, dry place. They will soften to eat in one to two weeks.

Baked Goods - Pies

Apple Annie's pies were named "best pie in AZ" by Arizona Highways Magazine in 2010. Our bakers are busy every day baking a variety of pies. Not all varieties are available at all times. All pies are a 9-inch, extra-deep pie. Slices of pie are available plain or a la mode.

Peach Varieties at Apple Annie's

All of our peaches are freestone varieties and are great for fresh eating, freezing, or canning. Peaches that are dripping juice right off the tree are wonderful but impossible to transport. Select peaches that have a yellow undertone instead of green. The ridge on the peach should just give when pressed gently with your thumb. Peaches will finish ripening within one to seven days off of the tree. Spread them out at room temperature, in a single layer, on newspaper. Do not let them touch each other. Check morning and evening and refrigerate or use as they ripen. Do not transport or store your peaches in plastic; the heat and humidity will cause them to mold.

Apple Varieties at Apple Annie's

Pick firm fruit. Large apples are fine. Over-ripe, soft apples will not store or peel well, but can be used immediately for applesauce. Fresh-picked, solid apples can be stored in the refrigerator. Early season apples have a shorter life than late season apples. Our apples are multi-purpose varieties, except for Red Delicious, which are better suited for fresh eating or fruit salads.
