Pound Sweet Apple

Malus spp. Fall. Manchester, CT, about 1834. Famous cooking apple once widely planted on Maine farms and still found here and there.

Often claimed to be the best fall variety for baking, for sauce and even for stewing with quince. The sauce needs no sugar and gets sweeter as it cooks. Firm coarse flesh tinged with yellow. Sweet unusual flavor, called “peculiar” by Beach in his classic Apples of New York. Not usually considered a fresh eating variety, though the mild dry flesh can be quite enjoyable. Very large roundish fruit, clear yellow marbled with green. Not a keeper so cook them up.

Large hardy long-lived open-spreading tree. Sometimes confused with another excellent apple, Pumpkin Sweet. Blooms midseason. Z4. Maine Grown. (Standard: 3-6' bare-root trees)
