McIntosh apple
[ MAK-ihn-tahsh ]
Discovered in the late 1700s by Canadian John McIntosh, this medium-crisp, tart-sweet
APPLE has a bright red skin that is sometimes tinged with green. It's available from late September through March. Though the McIntosh is considered an all-purpose
APPLE, it doesn't hold up well when subjected to lengthy cooking. See also
APPLE.
