Pronounced ah-kahn-ay, this variety originated in Japan. More tart and spicy than sweet, with firm flesh. Applesauce aficionados swear by it. At Samascott.
Apples collected from Caradonna Farms, Cheerful Cherry Farm, Locust Grove Farms, Migliorelli Farm, Samascott Orchards, Stannard Farms, Terhune Orchards, and Tree-Licious Orchards; for market locations and schedules, see grownyc.org/ourmarkets.
