The Golden Dorsett apple was first developed in the Bahamas in the early 1950s by a horticulturist named Lawrence Zill. Zill crossed two apple varieties, the Lady Williams and the Anna apple, to create the Golden Dorsett. Its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and early ripening make it a favorite among apple enthusiasts.
