Apple variety court pendu plat

Names

The apple's name is derived from corps pendu in French, which refers to the short stalk of the fruit. This also matches with its German name "Kurzstiel" or how it is named in Deutsche Pomologie "Koenigl Kurzstiel", meaning the royal short stalk. It is also called the "Wise Apple" because of its late flowering, which avoids the risk of blossom damage due to frost.

'Court Pendu Plat' has a unique texture which is dense but not crisp, similar to cheddar cheese, so it is recommended to cut it with a knife and not bite in while whole. The skin is greenish yellow and flushed with red, and is often russeted. The fruit's shape is extremely flattened. It is mainly eaten fresh, but can also be used in cooking. The apple is rather dry and not very juicy.
