An apple with a high sugar content.
Contexto cultural
Apples are the most traditional fruit in Lithuania. Almost every rural home has an 'obelis' (apple tree) in the yard. In ancient Baltic beliefs, the apple was a symbol of the sun and fertility. Golden apples appear in many folk tales. Lithuanian 'obuolių sūris' (apple cheese) is a unique traditional dessert made from dried, sweetened apple mass. The 'Obuolinės' festival in Anykščiai is a major autumn event where people create huge mosaics out of apples.
Market Hack
