Aura apples are a relatively new variety of apple that was developed as a cross between Honeycrisp and Aurora Golden Gala apples. They were introduced by Stemilt Growers and are known for their distinctive yellow color and burst of honey and melon flavors. 

Aura apples are designed to offer a unique eating experience with a crisp texture and a sweet, refreshing taste. They are marketed as a premium apple variety and are often praised for their juicy and flavorful profile.
