A French term meaning famous or celebrated; also refers to a type of apple variety.
From French 'fameuse,' derived from Latin 'famōsus' (famous). In English, it's retained as the name for a heritage apple variety known for its distinctive dark red color and tender flesh.
The Fameuse apple, also called 'Snow Apple' because of its white flesh, was so prized that it spread from Quebec across North America—proving that sometimes the most famous things grow on trees!
