Porter apples

Porter is an American apple variety originating from Shelburne, Massachusetts and dating back to 1800. These apples are praised as one of the great apples for making pies, and they were even endorsed in Fannie Farmer Cookbooks. The apples are medium to large in size, while the skin is bright yellow with occasional crimson red spots.

Beneath it, the texture of the flesh is crisp, juicy, fine-grained, and tender, while the flavor is slightly tart. Porter apples ripen in late summer and it’s recommended to use them in baking and pies because the quality remains high when cooked and the sections that are cut hold their shape easily.
