Description
McIntosh apples are small to medium-sized, round, red apples with greenish-yellow, tender-crisp flesh that becomes soft when cooked. They have a classic sweet-tart flavor and are excellent for eating fresh, in salads, or in cooked applications like applesauce, pies, and other baked goods. Discovered in 1811, these aromatic, juicy apples are a popular choice for fresh eating and are available in the fall and early winter.
