Ambrosia

This glossy, conically-shaped apple, which is typically available in the fall, is a great source of fiber along with vitamins A and C, which makes it the go-to option for people who want something that lowers their cholesterol level or aids them in digestion. As far as food is concerned, Ambrosia apples will compliment both sweet and savory preparations. They will add sweetness and moisture to cake, doughnuts and muffins. They also hold their shape and flavor when cooked, making them perfect for pies, tarts and baked apples. Slow to brown when cut, Ambrosia apples are indeed perfect for use in raw preparations. You can slice them thin and serve them with sharp cheese, or layer these slices atop a burger or simply add them to fresh salads.
