Cortland Apples have dull-red skin on a yellow background. The finely-grained white flesh is tender, juicy, and slow to brown when exposed to air.

The Cortland tree produces good yields regularly every year.

Cooking Tips
Cortland's tendency to brown slowly makes it useful for fruit salads. The apple is also good for cooking, cider and for eating out of hand.

Developed at Cornell's Experimental Station in Geneva, New York in 1898 by a Professor S.A. Beach from a cross of McIntosh apples with Ben Davis. Introduced commercially in 1915. Beach was also the author of "Apples of New York" (1905).
