Criterion is a very attractive golden delicious type apple with a reddish pink bluish. Good for all uses. The flesh is creamy, with a mildly sweet aromatic flavor. The tree is large, spreading and productive. The fruit is conical like a red delicious. Ripens in late mid-season in mid-October in MIchigan.
