Api Noir
Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dessert
A small dark crimson dessert apple, somewhat larger and flatter than the Api, with pure white firm flesh tinged with red under the skin. It exhibits a pleasant, vinous, and slightly perfumed flavor but is inferior to the Api and cultivated merely for curiosity, tending to become mealy in storage.
