The name "Manzano" actually comes from the Spanish word “manzana”. Manzano means “apple”, which is why it is also known in places as the "apple pepper".
Apple or apple-like in appearance, it's not surprising that this pepper has been given such a nickname. Manzano peppers are cherry to apple-sized fruits with a spicy flavor and a high concentration of vitamins C and A.
It is really SPICY!!
