The Empire Apple
This is an apple worthy of much love. Taking all the best of a McIntosh (flavor) and all of the best from a Red Delicious (crunch), you’re rewarded with the best of both worlds. But, like all great loves, you must take the good with the bad.
The Good:
Incredible apple flavor with remarkable complexity and superb crunchy white flesh
The Bad:
They’re at their best at the time of picking and soon afterwards. By November, apples that have been stored improperly (most of them) take on the unpleasant mealiness that many people hate about the McIntosh.
So, go get your Empires now… while they’re in their prime.
