These are fresh Golden Delicious apples, a popular variety known for their mild, sweet flavor and tender texture. They have a distinctive yellow-green skin that can sometimes have a pink blush. The flesh is crisp when first picked but softens as they ripen. They are a good source of natural sweetness and are often enjoyed as a healthy snack.

When preparing these apples, you can enjoy them raw, sliced, or diced. For baking, they hold their shape reasonably well, making them suitable for pies and tarts. They also break down nicely when cooked for applesauce or compotes. You can peel them or leave the skin on, depending on your preference for texture and appearance. Their sweetness means you often need less added sugar in recipes.
