Cortland

A cross between Ben Davis and McIntosh. Big, red with dark stripes, perfumed, slightly acid, very good flavor, Cortland is, with McIntosh, the archetypical American apple. A tart, large apple with crisp white flesh. When cut, the Cortland retains white color longer than other varieties, making it especially good for pies and salads. Good for baking, sauce, and eating.
