The Swiss orange apple , also called Swiss orange, is a variety of the cultivated apple . It was created in the Wädenswil research institute in 1935 by crossing an Ontario apple and a Cox orange peel and was first marketed in 1954. The medium-sized, juicy apple with a short stem is green-yellow to slightly reddish-yellow. The taste is sour-sweet, depending on the location with a weak aroma.
