Red delicious apples weren’t always horrible

Have you tried a Cosmic Crisp? A truly superior apple.

Although its ability never to oxidize and turn brown feels downright unnatural. You can leave a cut cosmic crisp on the counter for days and it just stays yellowy white. Weird.

I have. I don't know why, I just don't like them as much as I thought I would.

However, I find cripp's pink to be wildly variable. Some are beautifully crisp and very tart, these are my favorite. One store by me sells them and they just taste like red delicious, despite having the color and whatnot.

I think Cosmic Crisp vs Honeycrisp mainly comes down to taste. I vastly prefer Honeycrisp, but I also don't like sour much.

The sourness of Cosmic Crisp is probably why it doesn't oxidize readily.
