Empire apples are red, juicy, firm, crunchy and sweet. They ripen during September and October, and will keep until January. The original seed was a cross between the varieties McIntosh and Red Delicious. Empire apples are an excellent all-purpose apple for eating and salads, and good for sauce, baking, pies and freezing. It is an ideal lunch-box apple, not least because it does not bruise easily.
Empire apples were first developed in the 1940's at the Agriculture Experiment Station by Cornell University's Geneva breeding program. In 1966 they were introduced to the market place and given their name as homage to the Empire State they were created in, New York. They pair well with pear, pumpkin, sharp cheeses, and warm spices such as ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
