Rhode Island Greening Apple Pie

The Rhode Island Greening Apple is considered a great cooking apple. It was actually one of the first orchard grown apples in the United States. William Blaxton was a clergyman who planted the first orchard in Massachusetts. He named the first apple that he raised, Blaxton’s Yellow Sweeting, but according to SHG Resources, the name was later changed to the Sweet Rhode Island Greening.
