Pink lady/cripps pink (same thing) is one of my favorites; especially past February.Nay, Pink Lady. My palate prefers tart apples over sweet ones, but just this side of a Granny Smith. And crisp, not mealy!
They are also one of the sweetest apples...the acidity just covers it up. The acid is the "food" the fruit survives on in storage after it is picked. More acid tends to give a crisper fruit later in the season.
The new cosmic crisp is probably worth a try if you like crisp. It is a sweeter one though. When it was in testing, I was talking to the breeder and he was telling me they stored it for 18mo on CA storage...which is unheard of.
I have been eating them for about 10 years and have never had a bad one. Only one that was so-so.
A tech forum and we are talking about the real apple.
