Based on your description, it sounds very likely that the apple you remember is the Snow Apple, also known as Fameuse.

Here’s why this fits:

Fameuse (Snow Apple)
Origin: One of the oldest varieties grown in North America, especially in colder regions.

Appearance: Small to medium-sized, deep red skin, often with a whitish bloom.

Flesh: Bright white, sometimes slightly pink-streaked—hence the name Snow Apple.

Texture: Crisp, juicy, and very tender.

Flavor: Sweet, slightly vinous, and aromatic.

Harvest Time: Typically late fall.

Cold Hardy: Yes – grows well in cold climates like northern Illinois.

Hangs on the tree: Can persist into early winter in cooler areas, especially if not all picked at harvest.

History: Widely grown in the 1800s and early 1900s, especially on homesteads and farms in the Midwest and Northeast.

Legacy
It’s also worth noting that McIntosh apples are believed to be descendants of Fameuse. The Snow Apple’s excellent flavor and cold-hardiness made it a parent to many modern varieties.

No I am sorry we do not.

That will depend on the type of trees you are pruning.

We have decided to discontinue our seasonal printed and digital catalogs. We believe focusing on improvements to our website is better for the planet, aligns with our company values, and will serve the community of backyard growers best.
Our website will continue to offer more products, articles, and community content than our printed catalogs ever could. Please join us here and your favorite social media apps as we move forward in this new chapter of our history!
