The Cortland apple is a classic American variety that has been popular for over 100 years. It is known for its crisp texture, sweet-tart flavor, and slow-browning flesh, making it a versatile apple that can be enjoyed fresh, baked, or cooked. Cortland apples are medium-sized and round, with a bright red skin and yellow highlights. They are typically harvested in early fall, but can be stored for several months. Cortland trees are hardy and cold-tolerant, making them a good choice for growers in cooler climates.
