2016 1¢ Apples

The stamp design features two apples on a branch surrounded by leaves.  The original art for this stamp was illustrated using pen and ink and watercolor.  Art director Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, designed this stamp with an existing illustration by John Burgoyne of West Barnstable, Massachusetts.

Also known as the Newtown pipping, the Albermarle pippin apple has deep historical roots.  It first appeared in the late 17th century in an area of Queens, New York, formerly known as Newtown.  The word "pippin" indicates that the trees originated from seedlings rather than from grafting – a technique common in the propagation of apple trees.

Savored for their crisp flesh and balanced flavor, these medium-sized, reddish-yellow and green apples soon gained popularity throughout colonial America.  In 1755, Dr. Thomas Walker introduced them in Virginia when he returned home from the French and Indian War with a pile of cuttings.  Grown on Walker's plantation in Albermarle County, the celebrated New York apple received a new name and wider distribution.

Though harvesting of Albermarle pippins usually takes place in October, they are often considered a late-winter fruit.  Unlike many other heirloom apple varieties, these durable apples maintain quality in storage, their initial tartness mellowing over time.  By February, the apples still retain their characteristic flavor that makes them difficult to resist.  The distinctive aroma and pleasant taste of the Albermarle pippin make it well suited for pie fillings, applesauce, and especially cider.
