September Ruby is a medium-sized apple, averaging about 6 cm in diameter. It features deep red skin over a pale green background, and in some cases develops a fully red blush. Inside, the flesh is yellow-green, crisp, and refreshing, with a well-balanced flavour that’s sweet with a hint of tartness.

Excellent for fresh eating, September Ruby also performs well in pies and truly shines when juiced—its natural balance of sweetness and acidity makes it a standout choice for juice lovers.
