Karmijn de Sonnaville Apples

This intensely flavored red-russetted apple from Holland measures the highest in both sugars and acids. A triploid cross of Cox's Orange and Jonathan, it is the favorite of many; however, it is so highly flavored and aromatic, that it overwhelms some tastes when just off the tree. Given their unique flavor, these apples are best suited to fresh eating out of hand, but you could also make a tart or pair with goat cheese on toast or in a salad.
