I like Fuji's
Most of the red delicious apples you buy today are practically tasteless, and the skins taste terrible.
All the best apples get shipped to Japan anyhow, the way I understand it. The prices they bring there are unbelievable.
Red Delicious Most Nutritious
But McIntosh are best, by gosh!
Fuji for sweetness, and Granny Smith for that tart taste.
Red Delicious are way too mushy and leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't even want to get into what's happening to the flavor and texture of many of the fruits we grew up on and loved.....I'd just go into the mother of all rants.
I like the new Pink Lady variety for eating out of hand and for my Waldorf salads. One is perched in my fruit bowl right now, looking at me and knowing it's days are numbered.

The study also name Spie apples, an old (and vanishing) variety that is superb for pies. I wonder if they studied the old-fashioned Transparent apple. Sure, they're hard to pick [joke] but they make the best applesauce there is. Commercially they pose a problem because they bear heavily every other year, and have a much lighter yield the others.
