You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The most nutritious apple is freshly-picked. I know you're looking for varieties, but a fresh-picked one will not have lost any vitamin content, whereas the older they are, the more nutrients are lost.

But here is a link to a chart with the vitamin C content of various varieties of apples. It's only one vitamin, and only a scant handful of apples. Hope it helps!

http://www.naturalhub.com/natural_food_guide_fruit_vitamin_c_apple.htm

"This information is from the 'Changes in Vitamin C Content and Acidity of Apples during Cool Storage', Askew & Kidson, reported in the NZ Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 28, No.5 1947, and from data from the New York experiment station reported in 1946." from the link above.

http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/7/6/647.pdf An older scientific article, but one that shows that apples held in storage do loose vitamin content, depending on the temperature
