Peruvian "Apple" Cactus

My night blooming cereus is now producing
fruit.

I found a photo of an exact replica of my cactus
in Wikepedia. It is called the Peruvian Cereus.
The fruit is known locally as
"pitaya" or Peruvian apple.

It is edible, soft and with small black seeds.
I have not tried it yet but the
birds love them.
