Apple cultivar

Malus domestica 'Elstar' Hybrid parentage 'Ingrid Marie' × 'Golden Delicious' Cultivar 'Elstar' Origin Elst, 1950s

The **Elstar** apple is an [apple](/source/Apple) [cultivar](/source/Cultivar) that was first developed in the Netherlands in [Elst](/source/Elst%2C_Gelderland) in the 1950s by crossing [Golden Delicious](/source/Golden_Delicious) and [Ingrid Marie](/source/Ingrid_Marie) apples. It quickly became popular, especially in [Europe](/source/Europe) and was first introduced to America in 1972.[1] It remains popular in Continental Europe, but less so in the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom).

The Elstar is a medium-sized apple whose skin is mostly red with yellow showing. The flesh is white and has a crispy texture. It may be used for cooking and is especially good for making [apple sauce](/source/Apple_sauce). In general, however, it is used in desserts due to its sweet flavour.
