McIntosh Apple

Discover the classic taste of fall with fresh McIntosh apples, one of North America's most beloved apple varieties that brings sweet-tart flavor and tender texture to your kitchen year-round. McIntosh apples are easily recognizable by their bright red skin with green undertones and crisp white flesh that offers a perfect balance of sweetness and mild tartness. Originally discovered in Canada in the 1800s, this heritage variety has become a cornerstone of North American apple culture. The tender, juicy texture makes McIntosh apples ideal for eating fresh, but they truly shine when cooked. Their naturally soft flesh breaks down beautifully during cooking, making them perfect for homemade applesauce, apple butter, and classic apple pie fillings. The skin may become slightly tough when cooked, so many bakers prefer to peel McIntosh apples before using them in baked goods. These versatile apples pair wonderfully with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in traditional American and Canadian desserts. Try them in apple crisp, muffins, or pancakes for a comforting breakfast treat. McIntosh apples also complement savory dishes beautifully – dice them into stuffing for pork or turkey, or add thin slices to salads with sharp cheddar cheese and walnuts. For the best flavor, store your McIntosh apples in the refrigerator where they'll maintain their crisp texture and sweet-tart taste for weeks. Whether you're baking a family recipe or simply enjoying them fresh, McIntosh apples deliver that authentic apple flavor that makes any season feel like autumn.
