Cortland | Applewood Fresh Growers LLC

Juicier than juicy.

This all-purpose apple is sweet with a hint of tartness. Exceptionally juicy with tender, snow-white flesh. An excellent apple for making sauces, pies, and perfect for freezing. The Cortland has very similar traits to its parent, the McIntosh—like its ruby-red skin with dark-red stripes.
