    As someone who absolutely loves apples, thank you for this. I will say it’s quite subjective, though. They rank Cosmic Crisp only a 74, but the exact things they list as downsides (not as sweet, thick skin) are what I love about it. Maybe I’m just weird for loving apple skin.

      Anyone who calls Cosmic Crisp anything but the best apple ever developed is kidding themselves. Cosmic Crisp is apple technology perfected. Nothing compares.

        I’ve had mixed experiences with them. Some were massive, family-feeding unearthly delights that tasted like a divine antidote to the bitter pill of knowledge given to Eve, a benediction from beyond all hope or reason.

        And then I’ve had ones that just tasted like pink ladies.

      Sandy dry grainy apples are universally bad though, and I will die on this hill.

        Oh 100%. There’s nothing worse than buying into a great looking apple and it’s done that thing where it’s just like mushy sand inside

      I was so hyped for Cosmic Crisp after hearing about the whole story of it being saved and I couldn’t get one for months and when I finally got to try one the skin really put me off :c

      I bet it would make a good pie tho

      I’m a Fuji apple girl myself

      Cosmic crisp may not be the best available at all times of the year but its very affordable and for the price it’s actually pretty good, a step up from honeycrisp at least.
