The evea apple (also called Manks kitchen apple or Manks codlin ) is a medium-sized to large cultivated apple (Malus domestica) . It belongs to the Schlotteräpfel family. The Schlotterapfel is in some areas, a name of the bell, pome or rattle apples, the loose kernels of which shake or rattle when you shake them.

Particularly suitable for cakes , strudel , etc. Harvest: late August to early September. Shelf life until October. Early flowering, diploid . At Goetz: Evea apples. The variety probably comes from Ireland . Other sources give Scotland . Today hardly known in England either.
The yellow, round and often very large (up to approx. 110 mm) fruits with a short stem have a noticeably thick layer of wax. The taste is bitter-sweet, therefore, and because of its consistently high yields, it was grown almost exclusively as an industrial product in commercial fruit-growing (until the 1950s). Its shelf life is very limited. High-yield in fertile soil, highest-yielding variety in kitchen apples.
