Cortland
Circa 1898. Cross between Mcintosh and Ben Davis. Mid, tender apple. Excellent for eating, baking, salads, pies and sauces. Harvest: Mid September.
Usage: Cortland apples are excellent for eating, salads, sauce, pies and baking. With their snow-white flesh, Cortland apples are wonderful for kabobs, fruit plates and garnishes because they don't turn brown quickly when cut.
Selection & Storage: Good-quality Cortlandapples will be firm with smooth, clean skin and have good color for the variety - which is mostly red with some yellow blush and occasional green streaks. Test the firmness of the apple by holding it in the palm of your hand. (Do not push with your thumb). It should feel solid and heavy, not soft and light
To store, keep apples as cold as possible in the refrigerator. Apples do not freeze until the temperature drops to 28.5 F.
Avoid: Avoid product with soft or dark spots. Also if the apple skin wrinkles when you rub your thumb across it, the apple has probably been in cold storage too long or has not been kept cool.
