    Sonya Apple

    Published: Feb 17, 2010 Β· Modified: Feb 2, 2021 by Eric Samuelson

    A sweet apple that you will find early on in the apple season.

    Sonya Apple

    I was browsing the produce section at Holiday Market in Royal Oak, MI, when I came across an apple variety I haven't heard of, called a Sonya.

    It's a pretty, bi-color apple. It is a very sweet apple.

    My wife thought it tasted like a carrot! There isn't much tartness to it, so I don't think I would use it for any baking applications, plus it's flavor is one dimensional (sweet!). The apple is very crisp, like a honey crisp. It has a thin outer skin and is extremely juicy.

    Origin

    It is a cross between a Gala and a Red Delicious, hence why it is so sweet. If you don't like sweet apples, you might want to avoid this one.

    The Sonya apple originated in New Zealand. They were brought over to grow in the Yakima Valley of Washington. The valley is known for it's rich volcanic soils, which matches the growing environment in it's place of origin. They are distributed in the United States by Sage Fruit Co. and Rainier Fruit Co.

    Have you tried this apple? What did you think? Leave a comment below telling us. Be a helper and share where you found it. You may make someone's day with your insider info on where to get them! If you are a true apple lover, you'll want to check out all of our apple reviews.
