Dutch Mignonne is an apple cultivar originating from the Netherlands.[1]
This cultivar is a Dutch medium-sized (71x60mm) apple introduced to England in about 1820 by Georg Lindley. A dual purpose apple, it is picked in early October and used from November to February. Its skin is greenish-yellow, with an orange-red flush. The stalk is long and slender in a narrow russeted cavity of medium depth. The flesh is cream-cloured, crisp, and juicy.[2][3]
