Sunrise

Sunrise is an early autumn apple, harvested in early September. Originally developed in Canada in the 1970s, the variety is a cross between Golden Delicious and McIntosh, along with a third so-called "numbered variety" (an unnamed experimental cultivar). It was introduced for commercial cultivation in the 1990s.

The apple is round or slightly oval in shape, featuring red-to-orange striping against a yellow background. It is very sweet with a mild flavor (reminiscent of both Golden and McIntosh). The flesh is very crisp and juicy, ranging in color from white to golden.

Apples are best stored in the refrigerator (+2–4°C) and should be handled with care.
