Spondias dulcis or the Tahitian apple, also known as the Otaheite apple, (hence its alternative binomial, Spondias cytherea, Malay Apple), or just Golden apple, is an equatorial or tropical tree, with edible fruit containing a fibrous pit. In Trinidad and Tobago it is called Pommecythere.

The fruit may be eaten raw; the flesh is crunchy and a little sour. In Indonesia and Malaysia, it is eaten with shrimp paste (a thick black salty-sweet sauce, called 'hayko' in Chinese Southern Min dialect). It occurs as an ingredient in rojak. It may also be juiced, and goes then under the popular name umbra juice in Malaysia. It is a Jamacian fruit. The fruit is pear shaped with a dark red skin and white flesh,sometimes it is seedless.
