Macoun apples are a cross between the McIntosh and Arkansas black varieties. The Macoun was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, by R. Wellington.

Macouns are also very popular at roadside stands and pick-your-own farms. Availability is only October through November.
