Jefferis is an American apple variety originating from Chester County, Pennsylvania. These apples date back to 1830 and they’re medium in size and round, with slightly flattened ends. The skin is thin, which makes the apples bruise easily.
Beneath it, the flesh is firm, tender, and crisp, while the flavors are subacid to slightly sweet. Jefferis apples ripen in mid-fall and it’s recommended to use them as dessert apples. When stored, these apples will keep for a fair period of time.
