> Apples are all fairly horrible except the Cosmic Crisp. The rest are bland and disappointing. You must have had some bad apples (pun intended). Any apple that's a hybrid of a Royal Gala and something else is guaranteed to at least be crisp and somewhat sweet. Royal Gala is crisp, a little less sweet and acidic, and has a fairly watery taste (not necessarily a bad thing—imagine drinking off a cold, fast-flowing creek). Pink Lady is very crisp, sweeter, and more acidic. Envy apples are top-tier apples. Crisp, sweet, similarly watery to Royal Gala, and are usually immense. For me a single apple can stave off both lunch and dinner, it's superb. Although they are fairly expensive. Fuji apples are equally large but considerably less sweet, though still crisp and watery.
