The Cameo is a cultivar of apple, discovered, by the Caudle family, by chance in a Dryden, Washington orchard in 1987. Its parentage is uncertain; it may be a cross between a Red Delicious and a Golden Delicious, since it was found near orchards of those fruits; [ [http://www.orangepippin.com/cameo.htm Specialist Information about the Cameo Apple] ] it also appears similar to the original Delicious cultivar. It is bright red striped over creamy orange, firm and crisp with an aromatic flavor.
