Your eyes are not deceiving you, this really is a pink and very adorable apple.
The Pink Pearl Apple was developed in Northern California by Albert Etter in 1944.
It gets its bright rosy pink color by being cultivated from an older, similarly colored apple, called The Surprise.
The flavor of a Pink Pearl is sweet, lightly tart with melon undertones. The texture is crisp and crunchy. I could see this brighten up a brunch fruit platter, be served at a baby shower, and be given as a gift to dinner party guests.
*You can find Pink Pearl Apples at Milk Pail Market or your local farmers' market
