Pristine Apples | Local Apple Variety From Indiana, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Pristine apples

Pristine is an American apple variety that's a hybrid of Camuzat and Co Op 10. The apples were developed in Indiana in 1994 as a disease resistant variety. They are round to oblate in shape, while the skin is semi-thick, glossy, waxy, and smooth.


The texture of the flesh is dense, fine-grained, and crisp. The flavors are balanced, sweet, and tart with notes of banana and spice. Available in mid-summer, Pristine apples are usually eaten raw or cooked, baked, and boiled. It's recommended to cook the apples into applesauce or add them to salads, pies, and bread.


They pair well with cinnamon, beef, pork, poultry, sweet potatoes, and mascarpone cheese.
