Cameo, formerly known as Carousel, is a relatively new apple variety. It popped up in a Red and Golden Delicious orchard in 1987 in Washington state. Cameo’s attractive red stripey skin covers delicious crunchy sweet-tart flesh. It is shaped like a Red Delicious but without the bumps on the bottom. Cameo is an excellent all-purpose eating and cooking apple that keeps very well in storage.
