Golden Noble is an old English cultivar of domesticated apple, which is especially used as a cooking apple, since it is resulting in a sweetish puree when cooked and is a good choice for apple sauce.[2]

The fruits of this cultivar are light green and turn yellow gold with ripeness[3] and are very juicy, making it also a good choice for apple cider of a balanced tart and sweet taste.[4] It is considered of good taste by those who choose to eat them fresh.[3]
