This exact apple was DELICIOUS. It was honey sweet, crisp, and juicy. Breathing it in is heavenly as it's very aromatic and just an all around pleasant apple.
Ambrosia apples are a rather new variety of apple. A chance discovery in late 1990 at the Mennell Family Orchard in British Columbia’s Similkameen Valley in an area previously occupied by Red and Golden Delicious apples.
Since it is significantly sweeter then most apples, if you use Ambrosia apples in cooking, you can use less sugar then with a standard apple, and even less if replacing Granny Smith apples.

ReplyDeleteJust a mention…. If left in your purse for an unknown period of time inside a produce plastic bag, it becomes a sickly sweet smelling mushy mess and ruins all documents in said purse. Besides that, I sure wish I had eaten it and not forgotten it. 😳😳
