Empire This fine-flavored apple is a cross of Red Delicious and McIntosh raised by R.D. Way in 1945 and released in 1966 by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. A wonderful blend of sweet and tart, juicy and very crisp. Creamy white flesh. Ripens September to October and keeps well until March. Great in kids lunch boxes.
