Not sure how the fuck Lucy Glo and Sugarbee outranked Cosmic Crisp. Running a produce department has proven both apples to be extemely unpopular, and I’ve tried to promote them for a couple of years now since they hit the market. They’re just not good apples. People don’t even buy them after samples. Meanwhile Cosmic and Honeycrisp reign supreme, with Pink Lady coming after. Gala and McIntosh are still loved by the elderly and normies. But Sugarbee especially is some aggressively marketed trash.
The bigger the Cosmic Crisp, the better the taste. Can’t say much for the tiny ones that come in 3-lb. bags. They need more time to grow.
Gala and Pink Lady are the only ones from your list you get here. I think I’ve had Honeycrisp in the US, they were nice. I prefer Jonagold, Jonagored, Elstar, Granny Smith and Boskoop or Cox Orange for baking.
Sugarbee apples are amazing! Rockits are the only others in the same ballpark. Unfortunately, my grocer frequently charges 50-100% more for Sugarbee, which just doesn’t work for me. Honeycrisp are fine if you can find small ones, but the big ones taste like water. Cosmic Crisp are generally better than Honeycrisp, but I think that’s because I can find smaller ones.
Ambrosia can be really good, if they’re still crisp, but they’re frequently mealy garbage. I may as well get red delicious if I wanted to eat chalk. It’s hard to take the risk.
Jazz or Gala tend to be my “safe” fallback when all the good apples are too expensive. Also, I wish I could buy normal sized apples from the bulk bins, I don’t want the giant monstrosities that all the grocery stores stock. I buy the bagged apples because they are a normal size and, if I go to Sprouts, I like to buy the boxes of teeny, tiny Rockit apples (sooooo good).
