The Cameo is a newish apple that looks like a Red Delicious without the bumps on the bottom. Its skin has a creamy coloured background covered with a red blush and white speckles. The flesh is sweet and tart, with a crisp, dense, firm texture.

Cooking Tips
All-purpose all for both eating raw and cooking with. Holds its shape well when cooked. Good for sauce and pies; slow to turn brown after cutting, so also good in salads.

Owing to the denseness of the flesh, you may need to add a few minutes to any cooking times.
