Idared
Idared, with its bright crimson peel, is a large, crisp apple when first picked, with good flavor that becomes sweeter and more complex over time. After weeks or months in cold storage, it becomes a superb apple for sauce, pies, or as part of a cider blend. Its aromatic white flesh holds its shape when cooked, too. A late-season apple, Idareds are ready for harvest in October.
Discovered: 1935, Idaho
Parentage: Jonathan x Wagener
Harvest: Late Season
