Hunt Russet apples

Hunt Russet is an American apple variety originating from Concord, Massachusetts. The apples date back to 1750. They are medium in size and slightly ribbed at the eye. The yellow skin with a bright red flush has russet dots over most of the surface.

Beneath it, the flesh is juicy, fine-grained, and tender. The flavors are subacid (slightly sour, sharp) and reminiscent of pears. Hunt Russet apples ripen in late fall, and it’s recommended to use them in desserts.
