Right in front of you and me, hard apple (6)
I believe the answer is:
russet
'apple' is the definition.
(a russet-coloured apple)
'right in front of you and me hard' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in front of' says to put letters next to each other.
'you and me' becomes 'us'.
'hard' becomes 'set' (similar in meaning).
'r'+'us'+'set'='RUSSET'
(Other definitions for russet that I've seen before include "Autumnal reddish-brown colour" , "Dessert apple" , "Brownish-red apple" , "Apple - colour" , "Brown with a reddish tinge" .)
