Winesap
This is an American apple of unknown but early origin and so named because it was used mainly as a cider apple.
It is generally of a medium size, elongated, bright red with a little yellow on the side having the most shade side. The flesh is firm and aromatic.
Ripening in late autmn, it keeps well until the early summer although the textures does soften somewhat.
A good dual purpose apple lacking in some tartness that can be overcome with the addition of a little lemon.
