The Stayman Winesap apple is a beloved heirloom variety known for its bold, wine-like flavor, firm texture, and attractive deep red skin with green undertones. Originally developed in Kansas in the 1800s, this apple has a rich, complex taste with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, often with hints of spice. Ripening in mid to late October, Stayman Winesap is ideal for fresh eating, baking, and cider-making due to its dense, juicy flesh that holds up well in cooking. This versatile apple also stores well, retaining its vibrant flavor for months, making it a favorite for late-season harvests.
