Red Delicious
Flavor Profile Sweet, juicy, subdued flavor; an international favorite.
The sweet crunch of the classic Red Delicious apple makes it particularly well suited for fresh uses. The bold color of the skin contributes a striking contrast to other ingredients, particularly sliced into a green salad or chopped into a chicken salad or coleslaw. Fresh, bright flavors such as ginger, chives, and mint go well with Red Delicious apples, while the complex sweetness of honey compliments the apple as well.
