Arlet is a modern Golden Delicious-style apple, developed in Switzerland. It was patented in 1989, but the original cross between Golden Delicious (seed parent) and Idared was carried out in the 1950s. In appearance it more closely resembles Idared, with a yellow skin color overlaid with large areas of red. The flavor is pleasant and juicy, reasonably well balanced between sharp and sweet, but essentially mild.
