You should try "Envy" apples, though they may not have been around in 2013

Envy is now my go-to apple. I eat two apples most days, and they have been reliably sweet and somewhat tart, crisp with a few exceptions, but even when they haven't been crisp they've still been tasty. I usually just toss a non-crisp apple.

It has a fairly complex flavor profile, just delicious!

I love Honey Crisp, but it's tart enough that my teeth can get sensitive after eating too many. Pink Lady has also been a good one. I just recently tried the Sugar Bee because I couldn't find Envy the last trip, and it was a reasonable alternative to Envy, but one of them had some bitterness in parts.
