Green Apple Two-Step

Organic Fuji (Washington)

The fuji was my standby until I discovered the honeycrisp a couple weeks ago, and I was seriously enjoying them. So I'm not sure if the apple I had today was lacking in comparison to the honeycrisp or just a subpar fuji. I think the latter is more likely, as this apple may have been in the crisper for a couple weeks, suffering beneath a pile of rotund honeycrisps.

Flavor was mildly sweet, but a little bland overall. The texture was borderline mealy -- not quite mealy, but not fully crisp either. A better texture would have saved it, although wouldn't have impacted its order in the current rankings:

#3 Organic Ambrosia (BC)
#2 Organic Fuji(WA)
#1 Organic Honeycrisp (WA)

Thankfully I have some leftover dark chocolate from Halloween to wash away the memory of that disappointing apple.
