Cortland Apples, known for their bright red exterior and aromatic, crisp, and slightly tart flesh, make an integral part of numerous appealing dishes. Their distinctive flavor is loved by many in pies, tarts, and salads. The Cortland is also excellent for eating fresh, making them a healthy snack option.
Interestingly, Cortland Apples exhibit a slower oxidation rate; hence when cut, they remain white for much longer than most apples. This characteristic makes them a popular choice for fruit salads, garnishes, and charcuterie boards where aesthetics matter just as much as taste.
