Pristine apples

Pristine is an American apple variety that's a hybrid of Camuzat and Co Op 10. The apples were developed in Indiana in 1994 as a disease resistant variety. They are round to oblate in shape, while the skin is semi-thick, glossy, waxy, and smooth.

The texture of the flesh is dense, fine-grained, and crisp. The flavors are balanced, sweet, and tart with notes of banana and spice. Available in mid-summer, Pristine apples are usually eaten raw or cooked, baked, and boiled. It's recommended to cook the apples into applesauce or add them to salads, pies, and bread.
