I would still happily buy this apple fresh from a farmer's market or even grow it in my yard when they become available, but I won't be buying any more from the grocery store. Cosmic Crisp (known to experts as WA 38) is an American apple variety thats a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise. This was my biggest concern with this variety, and what I suspect may be its downfall: they're most likely a delicious, reliable apple when sold fresh off the tree, but since they were specifically bred to have an exceedingly long shelf life, most of what you can find in stores will have been stored for many, many, many months. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the apples I'm seeing in stores now are from the same harvest as the apples I bought last spring. In short, they tasted exactly like an apple that has been sitting in storage for over a year that's lost all of its flavor and appeal.

The skin even felt a bit soft and when squeezed the apple seemed slightly spongy and wilted. Following the success of the first commercial tests in 2021, Cosmic Crisp is. A new generation of apples set to rapidly develop. Grown and distributed in Europe exclusively by the VOG and VIP consortia, this new apple will reach an output of around 1,200 tons this year. They tasted completely bland with no tartness, just moderate single-note sweetness, absolutely no complexity, and a texture that was technically still crisp but not at all enchanting. COSMIC CRISP, THE APPLE WITH A HEAVENLY TASTE, LANDS ON THE MARKET. I was extremely disappointed with the apples I got. I bought a few this year (early 2021) when I saw them available again, expecting them to be just as good as last year. I would have still picked a good farmer's market apple over this, but that's not the class these apples fall under. The texture was extremely crisp and juicy as promised, and the flavor was very sweet, very tart, and a tad more complex than the watery storebought apples. It was by far the best-tasting apple that I'd bought from a grocery store in many years, blowing all of the other commercial varieties out of the water.
After that tasting, I would have rated it at 5 out of 5 stars, hands down. The first was early in 2020 when this variety first became available. I had two opportunities to taste this apple.
