Macoun Apples and Kelly's Favorite Apple Pie Recipe

The Macoun is on Diane's list of favorite apples. Once we get within two weeks of the approximate ripening date I have a handful of customers who will call daily to see if we've started picking them yet.


Approximate Ripening Date: September 18th


Flavor: We classify this as a tart-sweet apple which means it's more tart than sweet. It's very juicy and tends to almost melt in your mouth after each crispy bite. It is not a good keeper though so enjoy it as a seasonal treat.


Baking: Tends to cook down. Makes a terrific smoother applesauce.


History: Cross of the McIntosh x Jersey Black and it was developed in Geneva, New York in 1923.
