The Braeburn Apple Tree produces a first-class dessert apple, with a richness and complexity of flavor rarely matched by modern apple varieties. Fruit is crisp without being overly firm, very juicy, and snaps cleanly to the bite, when there is an immediate rush of strong apple flavors. Sharp and refreshing but with an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity while never sugary. Braeburn flavor is at its best when cooled slightly below room temperature. While it does store well, Braeburn is arguably at its best soon after picking. A relatively easy variety for the backyard orchardist to produce.
