Cortland
Cortland apples are known as "dessert" apples because of their sugared notes. This apple breaks down easily, so you shouldn't use it to make pies. Instead, turn this soft fruit into applesauce or apple butter. The apple butter process is actually similar to that of applesauce; simply cook it down until it caramelizes and more of the liquid evaporates.
