'Cameo' is a cultivar of apple, discovered by chance by the Caudle family at their orchard in Dryden, Washington in 1987. Its parentage is uncertain but is thought to be a cross between Red Delicious and Golden Delicious, since it was found near orchards of those fruits.[1] It also appears similar to the original Delicious cultivar. It has red skin with orange and yellow stripes; a dense texture; and a sweet, tart, crisp, and aromatic flavor.[2][3] Suitable for eating fresh, salads, and baking, it is among the top nine most grown apples in Washington state.[4] By the early 2010s, it has become widely grown across the United States.[3] This variety stores well.[3]
