Ambrosia
| For baking | To crunch | Availability: Mid-October |
Its conical shape and pink-on-yellow-green color make it easily distinguishable from other varieties in the store. It's a very versatile apple that can be used in salads as well as in your best desserts, since its flesh doesn't brown quickly in the air and keeps its shape when cooked.
Ambrosia comes from British Columbia, and is increasingly being introduced into Quebec orchards, given its popularity with consumers.
