The Melrose Apple has a nice sweet-tangy hit, but veering more sweet than anything else. It has crunchy, crisp white flesh. It’s a really tasty apple. Recommended!…

The Rockit apple is a miniature apple designed to be small and reasonably tasty. Its ‘parents’ are the Gala and the Splendour apple. I’ve never had a Splendour apple, but definitely have had Galas, and the Gala influence shines through in the flavor. The Rocket apple is basically a mini Gala. It’s very compact, crunchy,…

The Rave Apple is a new variety from the University of Minnesota that is grown/marketed by Stemlit (which is on the sticker!). It’s another child of the Honeycrisp apple. I almost need to tag my apple reviews based on if the apple is related to the Honeycrisp…anyway, I digress. Okay, I don’t digress because the…

The Cosmic Apple has been in the news lately. Officially they are called the ‘Cosmic Crisp’.

The Greening apple…is green. I don’t know the exact variety of Greening these apples were. There are many, apparently (as one can see by searching on Orange Pippin). These belong to one of them. This unknown type of Greening apple has pure white flesh and a good crunch. It is not that tart or sweet—pretty…

The Suncrisp apple is quite a pretty apple to behold. Not a normal red or green type, the Suncrisp is varies in hue between pale yellow and green, accompanied with flushes of red. At the top of its light hued skin, there’s sometimes a star like pattern of matte brown. It’s truly a colorful apple…

The Keepsake apples I picked up were all a variety of shapes, sizes, and…curvatures. Supposedly that is its shtick from what I read from Orange Pippin. Despite varying shapes, they were all consistently red with some yellow flushes. But who cares about appearances when you’re just going to eat it? Well, some people do, but…
