The Malus domestica 'Sunset', commonly known as the Sunset Apple Tree, is a much-loved dessert apple with a rich, aromatic flavour similar to the classic Cox’s Orange Pippin. Introduced in the 20th century, it produces medium-sized apples flushed with red and orange over golden skin. Renowned for its sweet, perfumed taste, Sunset is a superb garden apple , perfect for eating fresh, storing short-term, or slicing into autumn salads. Its compact, attractive growth makes it a favourite for amateur gardeners and allotment growers alike.
