Ah! Crisp, refreshing and honestly my most favorite apple variation. First, I must give credit where credit is deserved; Cameo apples were introduced to me by blog BLAST! off's former coauthor, Feisty Fawn. It has pretty much been a match made in heaven between me and these delectable treats from nature ever since.Cameo's are a hybrid between the Red Delicious and Golden Delicious and mostly indigenous to the northwest US, most notably Washington state. They typically reach their peak during late summer into early fall, but still sometimes tricky to find in your standard grocery aisle. I found these welcomed snacks at Henry's Farmers Market in Pt. Loma and get this: they were ONLY $.77/lb! Last year at their cheapest they were $1.19.
Needless to say, I enjoyed my first one of the season today and, ah..., just like I remembered it :)
