Apples are juicy and tasty fruits of apple trees. They are eaten fresh, baked, and used to prepare a variety of dishes and preserves.

News Bytes writes: "Today, these popular fruits come in hundreds of different flavors and textures. And we're sure there are some you've never even heard of. Take a moment to expand your 'fruit horizons'."

Pink Pearl

This unique apple variety was bred by California breeder Albert Etter in 1944.

The fruit of the Pink Pearl is medium-sized and conical in shape, and the flesh is pink in color. Its flavor is a delicate blend of sweet and sour, making it an excellent ingredient for sauces, sorbets, and preserves.

You can also use Pink Pearl in tartlets, pies, and scones.

Black Oxford

Who says apples only come in red? This special apple has a dark purple-crimson color and appeared in the late 18th century.

"Black Oxford is often used in various baked goods and cider. Its flavor is mild, sweet with a vanilla hint, and its flesh is dense and yellow.

Knobbed Russet

The Knobbed Russet variety, also called Winter Apple or Winter Russet, was grown in the 1800s in England.

The skin of these apples is rough and black, with a warty and bumpy surface that makes them look like potatoes. The flesh is creamy, soft and sweet, so Knobbed Russet is used to make applesauce or fillings in baked goods.

Catched

The flesh of this apple variety is creamy or white. The texture is crisp and coarse, and the taste is semi-sweet, tart and slightly sour.

The apples themselves have an unusual shape - they look like a cat's head, hence the name. The Catched variety is used to make applesauce, jams, and is used in cakes and pies.
