  Let us know how it turns out.   I picked it out of my file because of
  the combination of ingredients -- but have never had it.  As to Cox
  apple, I don't know if I've seen them in the store.   According to
  Wiki, they are a British breed.  A partial quote from the Wiki page
  is:

Cox is highly regarded because of its excellent flavour, and often
thought as the best flavoured apple. The flavour and texture of the
variety changes from complex acidic and crunchy in early September to
more mellow and softer after storage. However like all the best
examplars, it is difficult to grow and tends to catch all manner of
diseases. As a result, apple breeders have hybridized Cox with other
varieties to improve yield without too much loss of flavour.

  I'd be tempted to substitute JonaGold, Fuji, Gala, or Ginger Gold.
  All slightly different eating apples.  Each would be a little
  different in the final dish.

  And now for another uncommon ingredient:
  (Mirliton aka chayote).
