Today's Kanzi Apple
These came in a fancy bag that promise a lot about these apples. I will be the judge of that!!
This apple is small. Very small. But quite red! So looks pretty nice. A small apple will do fine today.
The bag promises a powerful punch of tart and also sweetness. The apple is quite crisp! And yes, it's quite tart! I like that. And it is pretty sweet as well.
I rate this apple "good" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.

There's a Cosmic Crisp hot air balloon!! This balloon was at the National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa just recently! (photo not from that event, but I saw it show up in photos and wanted to share it)
Today's Kanzi Apple
I got these on a lark at Trader Joe's. I didn't realize until later that there was a coupon available for Lady Alice apples. Oh, well. Something new, at least. Never had these. Or heard of these. The bag says their flavor is INTENSE. It says it's more tart than a Honeycrisp. I'm not sure if "intense" just refers to tartness.
The bag also says it's one of Europe's most popular apples. How enchanting! So European. So sophisticated! Well, I'll be the judge of that, Frenchie!
According to Wikipedia, they're a cross between Gala apples and Braeburn apples. That's also what Jazz apples are, except those were developed by a New Zealand company and these are Belgian. I like Belgium, so I'll allow it.
The brand name is Swahili for some reason.
The apple looks cute. Small. Red and yellow. Speckled. This one has an extra bit of stem. So the stem is too long and also gross looking. Ew. But I pulled that off and washed it. Oh. Now I notice a large blemish on the bottom. Oh, well.
Fairly crisp!! And very juicy! A delightful burst of juice upon first bite. And yeah, it's tart. Whoa. That's bold.
I like it! The tart is not too overwhelming. Overall good eating experience.
I rate this apple "5" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.
Today's Pink Lady Apple
It's a real Pink Lady apple. From Washington. Amazing. Kinda weird oblong shape. But nice pink color. Fairly crisp! Quite juicy! Nice tart flavor. I rate this apple "I like it!" On the Not Honeycrisp scale. Sorry for not posting in a while. I ran out of apples and also money for apples. As a reminder, this blog is totally open to selling out and receiving fat checks.
Today's Pinata Apple
I noticed the sticker actually says that this is a Piñata! apple. The exclamation point really makes it exciting. Nice and red. Not very crisp. Kinda chewy. Moist, but could be juicier. Flavor is good, but mild. I rate this apple "ok" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.
Today's Pink Lady Apple
It's a real Pink Lady brand apple! It looks ok. Fairly round. It's got a big, brown line, like a cut on the side. It's smack in the middle of a green swath. meh. I'm gonna be bold and eat that part first! It's quite crisp! Very juicy! It's tastes darn good. Nicely sweet with some tartness in there. I rate this apple "yum" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.
Today's SugarBee® Apple
My bad for not eating my apples. Oops.
Um. These are old. I actually threw one away because it looked too old (wrinkly).
This one looks reasonably still good. Small, but quite red.
Oh no. Oh, no no no. Where's the sweetness? It's all gone? Has it all aged out?
The texture is fine, not great. Juice levels are adequate. But the flavor is bad. Not so bad that I'll quit eating it, but not sweet. And not good.
I rate this apple "Too old!" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.
Today's SugarBee® apple
omg I forgot to eat my SugarBee apples! or any apples! What the heck?!
Ok, these may have gotten old, just sitting in my fridge for far too long. But let's go ahead and bust those open.
Looks pretty good. A dull red color. No hideous belmishes despite its age.
Not crisp. But that may be my fault for letting them get old. But crisp enough.
Nice sweet flavor. Not wowing me, but very pleasant.
I rate this apple "fine" on the Not Honeycrisp scale.
