McIntosh

The McIntosh (Mac) is an apple cultivar with a tart flavor and tender, white flesh, a superior eating apple and well suited for apple-sauce. It comes ripe in late September. It is traditionally the most popular cultivar in New England, well known for the pink sauce unpeeled McIntoshes make.

Offspring include the firmer Macoun[?] (a Jersey Black[?] cross), Spartan apple[?] (a Newtown Pippin[?] cross), Cortland, Empire, Jonamac, maybe Paula Red, Jersey Mac, and others.

The brand of personal computers named after the apple by Jef Raskin is spelled Macintosh.
