One of the best and brightest summer apple varieties is the Sunrise apple.
For those not in the know, the Sunrise apple is a cross between the McIntosh apple and the Golden Delicious apple. It was developed in Summerland, BC.
Being an early harvest apple, it does not store as well as the later season apples, but it has a great crisp sweetness. A medium apple (approximately 154g) contains 80 calories, zero fat and sodium and 5g of dietary fibre. If you are doing a large harvest or making a large purchase, it is good to know that Sunrise apples make excellent applesauce.
