CortlandA cross between the McIntosh and Ben Davis varieties, it is a medium to large apple, somewhat flat oval in shape. It is bright red, with a green/yellow cheek. The flesh is snow white and quite firm. It is mildly tart and delicate in texture, when cut it retains its white colour longer than any other variety, making it especially good for salads and fruit cups. Good for eating and a good baking apple for apple pies and sauces.
