Rome apple is a variety of apple that is commonly used in baking due to its firm flesh and mild flavor. It is named after Rome Township, Ohio, where it was first grown in the early 19th century.

History

The Rome apple was first discovered in 1816 in Rome Township, Ohio. It is believed to have sprouted from a seedling of a Johnny Appleseed tree. The apple quickly gained popularity due to its excellent storage qualities and its ability to retain its shape and flavor when baked.

Characteristics

The Rome apple is medium to large in size and has a round shape. The skin is thick and glossy, with a deep red color. The flesh is firm, crisp, and mildly sweet, making it ideal for baking. The apple is also known for its long storage life.

Cultivation

Rome apples are grown in several regions of the United States, including the Midwest, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest. They are typically harvested in late September to early October. The trees are hardy and resistant to many common apple diseases.

Uses

Rome apples are primarily used in cooking and baking. They are a popular choice for apple pies and other baked goods due to their ability to retain their shape and flavor when cooked. They can also be used in salads and sauces, or eaten fresh.
