Liberty apples

Liberty is an American apple variety that was developed in New York as a cross between Macoun and Purdue 54-12 in order to be as disease-resistant as possible. The apples are medium-sized, with a dark red skin and a barely visible yellow background.

The flesh is yellow in color, and the texture is juicy, fine-grained, and crisp. The flavors are sweet and tart with hints of melon and citrus. Available in the fall, Liberty apples are usually used in desserts such as apple pies, muffins, or apple sauce.
