McIntosh
Classic Crunch, Timeless Taste.
Your grandma’s first choice for baking and apple sauce making.
Description
The McIntosh apple has long been a beloved choice for grandma’s apple pies and homemade applesauce. First discovered by John McIntosh on his farm in Upper Canada in the 1800s, this apple has become a staple of North American tradition. With tender, juicy flesh and a red (sometimes with a green blush) skin, its spicy, aromatic flavor makes it a favorite among shoppers in the produce aisle.
Fun Fact: The famous Macintosh computer from Apple Inc. was named after this apple—the inventor’s favorite snack!
