  Egremont Russet
Egremont Russet is a cultivar of dessert apple that is arguably the best of the russet-type apples, with a rich, nutty flavour and crisp, firm and fairly juicy flesh.
Russeting is the term used to describe apples whose skin is slightly rough, usually with a greenish-brown colour.
Russet apples also go under the name Rusticoats, Russetings and Leathercoats, and were known in Shakespeare's time.
