Types of Apples—And How to Use Them Types of Apples—and How to Use Them Arkansas Black Apples The Arkansas Black apple is believed to have originated in the 1870’s from a Winesap seedling in an orchard in Benton County, Arkansas. Arkansas Black apples are vivid red to dark purple with a somewhat waxy skin. Its flesh is golden hued and juicy with a fine-grained and crisp texture. Its highly aromatic and sweet-tart flavor mellows and becomes more palatable with storage. The flesh as well will soften with storage. When first harvested the Arkansas Black apple is extremely hard, almost to the point that many would find it difficult to eat out of hand. How to use them: The firm texture of the Arkansas Black apple makes it an excellent cooker. It can be baked, sautéed and roasted. Try baked into a pie or bread pudding. They can also be slow cooked and pureed to make soups and sauces. Its aromatic juice lends itself to ciders and jams. The flavor of the Arkansas Black pairs well with by winter squash, pecans, cranberries, vanilla, thyme, sage, cinnamon and cardamom. Braeburn Apples Tart, zesty, and big on flavor, the Braeburn apple was first discovered in New Zealand in 1952. Since then, they’ve become wildly popular, especially since their taste perfectly encapsulates the flavors of fall. How to use them: Braeburn apples are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as baking and roasting. When raw, the apples can be sliced and added to salads and sandwiches or served on a cheese board or fruit platter. The sweet-tart flavor of the Braeburn apple mellows just slightly when cooked and will compliment both sweet and savory preparations. They can be roasted along with root vegetables, sautéed and served atop pork, or slow cooked and pureed to make sauces, jams, and preserves. Braeburn apples hold their shape well when cooked. They can be baked into pies, crisps, tarts, cakes, and galettes or hollowed and stuffed to make baked apples. Chopped Braeburn apples will also add sweetness and texture to bread, pancakes, and muffins. Braeburn apples pair well with cheese such as gouda and camembert, cinnamon, and salted caramel. They will keep up to a month when stored in the refrigerator. Types of Apples—and How to Use Them Cortland Apples Cortland apples are medium to large in size, and often rather flat in shape. Their crisp, finely-grained white flesh is exceptionally juicy with a sharp, sweet-tart, vinous flavor. The Cortland apple is an older American offspring of McIntosh apples. It combines the sweet flavor of the McIntosh with the cold hardiness of its other parent, Ben Davis. Cortlands have long been one of the most commonly produced apples in New York. How to use them: Extremely slow to brown when cut, the Cortland apple is perfect for use in fresh apple preparations. Add cubed apple to green and fruit salads. Slice thin and add to sandwiches, burgers, and quesadillas. Use in lieu of crackers and pair with sweet and savory dips or flavorful cheeses. The sweet-tart flavor of the Cortland apple also shines in cooked preparations. Bake into cakes, tarts, cobbler, quiche and galettes, or slow cook to make soups, sauces, and preserves. Cortlands also make excellent cider and juice apples. They do not store exceptionally well, and should be eaten soon after harvest for best flavor and texture. Empire Apples Empire apples (New York) are bright red medium sized round apple with a creamy white interior. A successful cross between Red Delicious and McIntosh, the Empire contains flavor characteristics of both its parent apples. Its crisp and juicy flesh has a flavor that is sweet like a Red Delicious and tart like a McIntosh. Empire apples are a member of the rose family along with pears and quince. How to use them: Empire apples can be roasted, baked or sautéed. Their crisp flesh and sweet tart flavor make them perfect for fresh preparations such as chicken salad and coleslaw. They pair well with pumpkin, pear, sharp cheeses and warm spices such as ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Their size and low susceptibility to bruising make them an excellent snacking apple. Types of Apples—and How to Use Them Envy Apples Envy apples are a child of Braeburn and Royal Gala apples, and were first developed in New Zealand. They’re known for their sweet, almost floral taste and thick red and yellow skin. They’re high in vitamin C, meaning that their flesh stays white and crispy much longer than other apples once they’re cut. How to use them: Since envy apples are slow to brown, they work great in any dish that shows off apple slices: think salads, pies, or strudel. Thanks to their natural sweetness, they’re also perfect fresh, on their own. Fuji Apples A hybrid variety, Fuji apples were developed in Japan in the late 1930s (Interestingly enough, they’re a cross of two American cultivars, the Red Delicious and Virginia Rails Gainet). The almost spherical, mottled apples are especially sweet and crisp, and they have a long shelf life compared to other apple cultivars. It’s no wonder they’re one of the most common apple varieties around. How to use them: Fuji apples are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as baking, roasting, and stewing. The apples can be sliced and tossed into green and fruit salads, grated into coleslaw, minced and stirred into rice, or chopped and used as a topping over oatmeal, pancakes, and cereal. Fuji apples can also be pressed into juices and cider, cooked into jelly, steeped into teas, blended into applesauce, or boiled into apple butter. The thick skin and dense flesh of the apple hold well when cooked, making the apple a popular variety used in soups and roasts or baked into pies, cakes, tarts, crumbles, crisps, and muffins. Fuji apples can also be layered in sandwiches, topped over pizza, cooked into quiche, or mashed into potatoes. In Japan, Fuji apples are commonly placed on a stick and dipped in caramel or candy coatings as a sweet treat at food festivals. Fuji apples pair well with meats such as pork chops, bacon, sausage, bacon, turkey, and poultry, cheeses such as cheddar, goat, brie, gorgonzola, and blue, thyme, dates, spinach, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and green beans. The fresh apples will keep 3-6 months when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place such as the refrigerator. Types of Apples—and How to Use Them Gala Apples Like several other popular apple cultivars, Gala apples were developed in New Zealand in the 1930s. The mottled and aromatic apples are especially sweet, with a smoother interior texture that works well both raw and cooked. Recently, American Gala apple production finally outpaced Red Delicious, making it the country’s favorite apple variety, according to the U.S. Apple Association. How to use them: The delicate flavor and texture of the Gala apple shines in fresh preparations. They are perfect for use in fruit, green and chopped salads. Add diced gala to fruit salsas and chutneys. Slice and add to burgers, paninis and crostinis. Their sweet flavor becomes milder when cooked making them perfect in baked preparations when paired with stronger flavored apples such a Granny Smith, Arkansas Black, Pippin and Mutsu. The flavor of pears, winter squash, onions, pecans, turkey, curry, brie, cheddar and Swiss cheese complement Gala apples. Golden Delicious Apples Golden Delicious apples were discovered in West Virginia a little more than a century ago. These large, yellow-green apples are super sweet, so they’re popular in desserts, but they’re also used in apple sauce and apple butter because of their tender flesh. The Golden Delicious apple is a parent in many popular hybrid varieties, including Gala and Pink Lady but are not related to the Red Delicious Apple. How to use them: The sweet-tartness of the Golden Delicious means this apple is a good fresh eating variety. Fresh, raw apple slices may be added to green salads, fruit salads, or grain salads. Golden Delicious apples also have the necessary acid content and stability for baking. They can be baked into crisps, crumbles, tarts, cakes, galettes, and breads. Apple slices may also be cooked down into preserves and butters, or pureed into sauces and soups. The Golden Delicious pairs well with savory items, such as onions, cabbages, pork, cheeses and strong herbs. Add slices to top burgers and sandwiches. Finally, this versatile apple can also be juiced or dried. Types of Apples—and How to Use Them Granny Smith Apples These small, lime-colored apples (Australia) are known for their puckeringly tart flavor, which shines whether it’s cooked into a pie or blended into a smoothie. They’re also the go-to variety for making caramel apples. Since they’re so sour when fresh, try serving the slices with a protein, like cheese, or grate it and add the shreds to a salad. How to use them: Granny Smith apples are often used in baking because of their high acidity and ability to hold their shape when cooked. Try baked into sweet or savory pies, tarts, or meat pastries; add to savory bread stuffing, risotto or potato pancakes. Their sweet-tart flavor is a great addition to soups, smoothies and sauces. Because they are slow to brown when cut, they are perfect diced and added to fresh preparations such as salads and salsas or sliced and paired with cheese. Honeycrisp Apples The Honeycrisp apple is exactly how it sounds: saccharine, so crisp it’s crunchy, and juicy.

    - Advertisement - Applewood focused on apple varieties August 21, 2019 Applewood Fresh Growers LLC is distinguishing itself with planning for the “next best managed varieties,” according to Nick Mascari, Applewood’s president. The Michigan grower-packer-shipper is testing apple varieties in the ground as part of the work toward serving the trade with the best of oncoming special new apple varieties. “We are really looking at making a statement with managed varieties and higher-end apples.” Mascari said that, for competitive reasons, “I can’t be specific” on what is being tested, but “we have five potential new varieties in test blocks.” If those are not ready for production now, “they will be further out. We are on the forefront for new sport varieties, and new strains of old varieties, atop having new managed varieties.” Antonia Mascari was recently promoted to become 1 / 3 the vice president of marketing for Applewood Fresh Growers LLC.With this, Applewood’s sales and marketing arm is “using more data to guide growers and customers” toward the best of the apples that will be coming from Michigan. By tracking data from all growing regions on apple sales for 52 weeks a year, growers can have the best information for planning the timing of new plantings and “we can help guide our customers to have the right assortment at the right times in their stores.” Mascari said USDA statistical data shows “We are the second largest grower-shipper in Michigan. Period. Our growth in volume is due to our team. We are pleased to be the leading sales company in Michigan.” “Our quality and volume will be up this year,” he continued.

  • Dusting Versus Spraying Apple Orchards in Ohio
    BULLETIN 527 AUGUST, 1933 Dusting Versus Spraying Apple Orchards in Ohio F. H. Ballou and I. P. Lewis • OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Wooster, Ohio This page intentionally blank. DUSTING VERSUS SPRAYING APPLE ORCHARDS IN OHIO . INTRODUCTION F. :U:. BALLOU .AliD I. I'. LEWIS In response to a special request from the organized fruit growers of Ohio the Department of Horticulture of the Ohio Experiment Station began, in the spring of 1926, a series of experiments in dusting versus spraying apple orchards for prevention of injury to foliage and fruit by fungous diseases and insect pests. This series of dusting versus spraying experiments was carried on in eastern, central, northeastern, and southeastern Ohio. The five widely separated projects were located as follows: The Belmont County Experiment Farm, the Dale View Test Orchards (Licking County), the Mahoning County Experiment Farm, the Southeastern Experiment Farm (Meigs County), and the Washington County Experiment Farm. The orchards in Belmont, Licking, and Washington Counties are very favorably situated in hilly sections of the State and, for the most part, occupy areas of ground of such elevation as affords unusual frost protection to buds, blossoms, and newly set fruit. No losses of fruit from cold occurred in these orchards during the full term of the experiment. The orchard at the Mahoning County Experiment Farm occupies ground of moderate elevation, which affords fairly satisfactory cold-air drainage. In the spring of 1929 a partial loss of the apple crop was sustained by reason of freezing temperature immediately preceding the period of open blossoms. However, there was sufficient production of fruit to permit securing grades and counts in all of the variously dusted and sprayed plots.

Elucidate roles for previously identified candidate genes in ethylene, auxin, gibberellin, jasmonate and brassinosteroid metabolism and response during apple fruit ripening. 2. Characterize the relationship between gene expression patterns and specific fruit ripening phenotypes (ripening season, fruit size, fruit texture) in a cross population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’, as well as other germplasm. 3. Develop a shortlist of candidate genes for hormone metabolism for further validation for use in marker assisted selection. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS 1. Most of the selected genes, based on the results from previous microarray or gene chip analysis, showed correlations with apple fruit ripening processes among a wide spectrum of apple germplasm including several commercial cultivars and a segregating population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’.
