Fujis originated in Japan in the 1930s and arrived in America during the 1960s. The bonus? Stored properly, Fujis will stay crisp for weeks. GALA Looking for a great baking apple? Gala is Michigan’s third most popular apple for fresh eating, cooking or baking. Its mellow sweetness means no extra sugar is needed for recipes, and it’s perfect for apple pie, cookies, muffins and other desserts because it holds its shape in the cooking process. Gala apples originated in New Zealand in 1934 and were introduced in the U.S. in the 1970s.
