Cortland Apples
The Cortland apple is a popular variety known for its vibrant red skin, snowy white flesh, and balanced flavor. A cross between the McIntosh and Ben Davis apples, it was developed in New York and is a favorite for both eating fresh and cooking. Its most celebrated feature is its resistance to browning, which makes it a top choice for salads, fruit platters, and other preparations where you want the apple to maintain its appearance. With a tender texture and a sweet-tart taste, the Cortland is a versatile kitchen workhorse.

Choosing
When selecting Cortland apples at the market, look for fruit that feels firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be bright and show no signs of bruising, soft spots, or wrinkles. A good, fresh apple will have a pleasant, "apple-y" fragrance. Choosing apples with the stem still attached is also a good practice, as it helps the apple last longer.
