@sadarish: The Macoun apple is a dark purple, sweet-tart dessert variety developed in 1923 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. Lineage: A cross between McIntosh and Jersey Black cultivars. Appearance: Medium-sized with a deep purplish-red blush, greenish background, and a delicate whitish bloom. Texture & Taste: Offers snow-white, crisp, juicy flesh with an aromatic, berry-like, and slightly floral flavor. Best Uses: Esteemed for fresh eating ("out of hand"), salads, and baking, as they hold their shape well in European-style pies without breaking down into mush.
