Greetings Lisa and others,
I've been unhappy with the apples we dried this year - they were too tart (Goldrush) or utterly bland and tasteless (mystery apple #2), and since we have opportunity to put in a few more trees, I'd like suggestions for good ones for drying. Ideally late, large, and disease resistant (although we've had next to no disease problems with the apples, just lots of worms)
I am not sure how Cortland would perform in zone 7, but they do well in zone 4 and 5. Cortland is a good apple for drying. Good taste and one major advantage, it does not turn brown when exposed to air. The dried apples pieces are a nice inviting yellowish fresh apple colour.... without the help of lemon to prevent oxydization.
It is a late September apple...
Hélène
