What do Granny Smith apples taste like? Their taste fully matches their color - the crispy, juicy flesh has a bright and sour taste with a slight hint of sweetness. This variety will pleasantly please fans of healthy eating, because Granny Smith is not only healthy, but also contains a small amount of sugar. Why are Granny Smith apples called that? Allegedly, out of interest, the gardener crossed a local varietal apple tree with a foreign (French) wild apple tree. It brought results. Mrs Smith from New South Wales became famous thanks to a premium apple variety named after her. “Granny” translated from English means “granny, grandmother.”
