The new variety, named ‘MAIA11’, is distinct from ‘Honeycrisp’ as ‘MAIA11’ ripens early-October, 3 weeks after ‘Honeycrisp’ . ‘MAIA11’ is distinct from ‘Fuji’ as ‘MAIA11’ ripens 3 weeks before ‘Fuji’. ‘MAIA11’ fruit are medium sized, extremely crisp, with simple sweet-tart flavor and long storability.
