Holland Pippin is a large, pale yellow-green apple with brownish-red blush marks, valued primarily for cooking rather than fresh eating. The fruit ripens from August through October and is particularly prized for pies, tarts, and sauces. The tree is vigorous, hardy, and productive, though the variety is grown only to a limited extent for commercial market.
