Liberty is a hybrid apple cultivar developed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. It was first pollinated in 1955 by crossing Macoun with 'Purdue 54-12' for the sake of acquiring malus floribunda disease resistances. It was first released to the public in 1974.

"The fruit of 'Liberty' is a deep dark red over 90 percent of the surface. The ground color is yellowish. The red is striped rather than blushed. The shape of the fruit is oblate to oblate conic, and the size averages 23/4–3 inches although it may be smaller on heavily cropping trees. The cavity is obtuse, broad, smooth to slightly russeted.

Zone 3-8. Produces medium sized quality fruit in abundance annually. Highly resistant to all major apple diseases. Good for fresh eating and cooking. Flavor intensifies with storage lasting well into February.
