The Fortune apple is a late-season treasure at 1913 Kickapoo Orchard, prized for its deep red blush, creamy white flesh, and satisfying crispness. A cross between Schoharie Spy and Empire, Fortune combines the best qualities of its parents—the sweet-tart snap of Empire and the full-bodied flavor of a classic Spy.
This apple holds its shape beautifully when baked, making it a top choice for pies, crisps, and baked whole apples, while also being delicious for fresh eating and drying. Its balanced flavor and firm texture make it a standout for both dessert and everyday snacking.
