}}'Alkmene' is a German cultivar of domesticated apple, also called 'Early Windsor'.[1]

Two natural mutations (sports) of this cultivar that have red-skinned fruit have been selected: one called 'Red Alkmene' was trademarked under the name of Red Windsor; the other is 'Ceeval'.[1]

It was developed between the years 1900 and 1949, by the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute[2] in Müncheberg, Germany,[3] by crossing the two cultivars 'Cox's Orange Pippin' and 'Duchess of Oldenburg'. The result is an early harvest apple (early mid season), which is very attractive,[2] with a honeyed[3] flavor similar to Cox's but slightly sharper.[2] Its main use is for fresh eating.[3]

'Alkmene' flowers early mid season, with self-sterile blossoms, hence cross pollination is needed. Fruit size is medium and variable, flesh color is yellowish or extremely yellow for an apple,[2] skin has greenish-yellow background with orange-reddish flush and strong red strips. The 'Red Windsor' cultivar has a larger portion of red.[3] It is resistant to apple scab and susceptible to blossom frost.[2]

'Alkmene' was awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1998.[2]
