Winesap apple

Description: Medium sized, round, dark red fruit with crisp, juicy yellow flesh with a spicy, vinous flavor and aroma.

Use: eating, cider
Origin: United States

From CF Fresh: Winesap is one of the oldest and at one time one of the most popular apples grown in North America. It dates back to the colonial era.

…The flavor of Winesap is slightly tart, surprisingly spicy, and almost wine-like.

The versatile Winesap can be used any way you choose. It has been a favorite cider apple for over 200 years, its flavor and color make it an exceptional salad and dessert apple, and sauce made without first peeling the fruit is a lovely pinkish color.
