Laxton's Epicure is a British dessert apple developed in Bedfordshire in 1909, prized for its aromatic sweet fruit and striking yellow flesh streaked with red and orange. It bruises easily and tends toward biennial bearing; the apples are typically picked in late August and used fresh through September.
