Galloway Pippin is a popular dual-purpose apple from south-west Scotland, ripening mid/late season. The Victorian pomologist Robert Hogg rated it as a "first-rate kitchen apple".
Galloway Pippin is best treated as a cooking apple, and slices keep their shape when cooked. The apples also store fairly well, but lose their sharpness - and then become more suitable as brisk eaters.
Galloway Pippin is noted for its attractive blossom.
