Apple Varieties: Uses and Descriptions

.Zestar-The best flavored eating apple you can find!  Makes excellent pies holding its slice shape and juicy, giving you the choice to cut back in sugar if you like because of its sweetness.  The apple sauce is phenomenal.

Wealthy Juiciest apple you'll ever bite into.  Slightly tart at early maturity; sweeter as it ripens. This is a really good apple to use for caramel apples, if you like an apple that cooks up soft or mushy in a pie or sauce this is it.

Sweet Sixteen Excellent sweet apple with a unique nutty flavor.  A favorite for fresh eating, it's good in salads or baked whole in oven or microwave too.

McIntosh This unique aromatic apple is very good for eating fresh and cooks up quickly to a smooth sauce.

Cortland An excellent slightly tart apple which is snow white when cut and keeps its color when sliced for salads.  Cortland is also excellent for pies and sauce.
