Trivia: Produced by the NY State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY and named after Canadian fruit grower W. T. Macoun, this apple was introduced in 1923. It is a combination of McIntosh and Jersey Black.
Notes: Macoun carries some of the tartness of Mcintosh, but it comes in a harder, crispier form and it carries some interesting strawberry notes along with a hint of spice. The apple has an angular, boxy shape and distinctively deep purple skin.
