📜 History
It originated in Bolinas-Olema Valley, California sometime in the 1980s. The apple was discovered in some old trees. It is uncertain how this apple came to be, so we don't have any information on it's parentage.
🚜 When Are They Harvested?
The apple ripens in October and I have heard that it grows well in southern climates. The ones I purchased were grown in Michigan though. I purchased them at the Produce Station in Ann Arbor. They were grown by Eastman's Antique Apples in Midland, Michigan. They are the only source I have been able to find.

🍎 What are Cinnamon Spice Apples Best For?
This is a very tasty apple. I did dedicate a spicy, cinnamon-like flavor, particularly in the skin. The apple was sweet with enough tartness so that it's not overly sweet. I highly recommend this apple for out of hand eating. I don't know how well it would hold up in baking.
SweeTango is another apple variety that I have felt had a cinnamon like flavor, but I haven't found it to be consistent every time.
