A photograph showing a facsimile of an apple, several stories tall, with a face painted on it. On the face is a large piece of fabric tied to look like a mask. The Big Apple is a roadside attraction along the busy Toronto-Montreal-Ottawa corridor of Highway 401 near Cobourg, Ontario. Anyone who has travelled this route within the last 20 years or more is familiar with the landmark which has, at times, been billed at the World's Largest Apple, and is attached to an apple pie bakery.
