McIntosh

Juicy, tangy and aromatic. An all-time favorite for fresh eating and baking.

Nothing evokes fall better than the aromatic fragrance of McIntosh apples. This variety has been enjoyed since 1811 when John McIntosh discovered the first seedling. McIntosh apples grow particularly well in New York’s cool climate.
