Red Delicious Apple

The Red Delicious Apple (Malus domestica ‘Red Delicious’) is a sweet, juicy apple variety known for its deep red color and distinctive, conical shape.

Red Delicious apples have a firm flesh and are often enjoyed for their crisp bite and vibrant appearance. The trees are moderately hardy and thrive in well-drained soils and full sun. While primarily used for snacking and salads, Red Delicious apples are less commonly used for cooking due to their delicate texture when heated.
