Cox orange and Ingrid marie is my favs, most modern capitalist robot apples sold are just too boring and hard, bred to survive machine picking and storage for years.

COP is my favourite too.. but it's worth mentioning a lot of the modern 'club' varieties that have come on market in the past decade probably do retain a lot of the favorable logistic traits but are also a far cry from the sorry later red delicious sports and actually quite interesting and yummy. See envy, jazz, pink lady, kanzi, smitten

I've got fond memories eating Cox Orange growing up. No other apple has that same flavour.
