I was given a few ‘Surprize’ apples last week. Surprize is the variety, and although I hadn’t heard of them, they won me over as they are delicious and indeed do offer a surprise. The apple has lovely glossy orangey skin but when you bite into it the flesh is pink. It tastes ‘more’ than appley but I couldn’t really put my finger on what that extra flavour was. It’s super-sweet and juicy and smaller than a lot of apples making it perfect for lunch boxes.
