This well-known variety was discovered in 1811 as a chance seedling from some wild apple saplings planted by John McIntosh. It has a deep red finish, often with a greenish blush and juicy tangy-tart flavor. McIntosh is an excellent apple for snacking and applesauce, and some enjoy its tart flavor in pies as well. (Cook's hints: McIntosh's flesh cooks down easily; if making pie, cut slices thick or add a thickener). |
