Stayman Apples

Staymen apples are a late harvest apple with red skin and yellow flesh. They are an old American dual-purpose apple variety, popular in Virginia. Descended from Winesap, and in most respects an even better apple, their distinctive sweeet-tart flavor, snappy bite, satisfying texture and crimson color have made them a favorite since their discovery by Dr. Stayman in 1866. 

The Stayman is an ideal, all-purpose apple. As a snack, it gets high praise for its robust taste and firm, crisp flesh and its large conical shape holds up well under heat, making it perfect for baking and cooking.
