Macoun Heirloom Apples, a lesser-known delight, radiate a deep red blush over a green base, combining a crisp bite with a complex flavor profile. Small to medium in size, their round and slightly conical shape makes them a favorite for fresh-out-of-hand eating. The white flesh is exceptionally juicy and tender with a sweet-tart taste that hints at berry undertones. These apples are perfect additions to fresh salads, as they add a burst of sweetness without being overpowering, or can be baked into cozy, heartwarming dishes like pies and tarts. Owing to their fresh, sweet flavor, Macoun apples have a loyal following and are often sought after for their distinctive and satisfying crunch.
While not Certified Organic, these apples are EcoCertified. This certification is meant to set the standard for sustainability, while also addressing the unique challenges orchards face on the East Coast with temperature, humidity levels and pest control.
