Description

Cortland Apples are a variety of apple with a sweet and slightly tart flavor, known for their crisp and juicy texture that makes them ideal for a wide range of recipes, from desserts to savory dishes. These apples are characterized by their bright red skin with green and white areas, and their white flesh that does not brown quickly, making them a perfect choice for salads, pies, and compotes.

Their origin dates back to the state of New York, United States, where they were developed in the early 20th century by crossing McIntosh and Ben Davis apples. Since then, they have become popular in various regions due to their versatility in the kitchen and their excellent shelf life.

Regarding their properties, Cortland apples are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and natural antioxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. They are also low in calories, making them a healthy ingredient for all types of diets.

In different regions of Latin America, they may be found under synonyms or similar names such as red apple, winter apple, or simply Cortland apple, although the specific variety is primarily recognized by this name. Their texture and flavor clearly distinguish them from other local varieties.
