My preferred apple is Mutsu, available from a few growers in the late season at my southern Ontario farmers market. According to Wikipedia it's been around since 1949, but perhaps it simply never got popular enough to face these pressures— either way, I find it consistently to be in the right place for me as far as a balance of sweet, tangy, and crispy.

- thomk 2y agoAny idea where those could be located on the us side of the border in Detroit?
- fn-mote 2y agoFarmer’s market. Grocery store that isn’t a big chain. They’re here.
- mikepurvis 2y agoGiven that it's a Japanese cultivar, I assume they're all over the place, you just have find a market where someone growing them has them for sale.
- Jgrubb 2y agoAka “crispin” if that helps. Every apple farmer around here in NW NJ grows them, never seen them in a store. Also my favorite.
- justinfrankel 2y ago+1 here -- Mutsu are fantastic, readily available at NYC greenmarkets in the fall and into the winter, though there are pretty large differences in flavor and texture between various orchards too. Samascot is my fav.
