Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!

Honeycrisp has been one of the most popular apples for years, but now Cosmic Crisp has come along to give it a run for its money. I've had both many times and am sharing what apple I would buy for sweetness, texture, price, and more.
