A redder and more uniform apple than the colorful McIntosh. Slightly later ripening.
The Ruby Mac is a vibrant, crisp apple that builds on the McIntosh’s beloved flavor—sweet, juicy, and lightly tart, but with deeper red coloring and slightly firmer flesh. It’s one of the most eye-catching apples in the orchard, offering the same refreshing bite as a classic Mac with improved shelf life.
Perfect for fresh eating, salads, and applesauce, Ruby Mac’s aromatic flavor and bright color make it a fall favorite. Its balance of sweetness and tang also makes it ideal for cider blending or pairing with cheese.
Flavor & Texture: Sweet-tart, crisp, and juicy.
Best For: Fresh eating, salads, cider, and applesauce.
Color: Deep ruby red with creamy white flesh.
