Pink Lady.
They have the perfect mix of sweetness, tartness, and crisp. Honeycrisp are far too sweet. Cosmic crisp tastes like candy, all the basic apples have no unique profile, and granny smith tastes like nothing. Pink Lady has a distinct flavor of nearly autumnal notes and a gentle tartness that doesn't take away from the bright yet berry-reminiscent flavor. Like a better version of kanzis. Anyone can enjoy them but they require a refined palette to recognize their superiority.

Depends on what you're using them for.
Granny Smiths are great for cooking, Fuji is great for eating raw.

I used to like honeycrisp but have eaten too many meh ones. Pink lady is great but I miss when they were actually pink. Recently been a convert to Opals, good flavor and they seem to hold up well.

I'll tell you what the worst ones fucking are. Jonagold. They are absolutely disgusting, I'm a big apple fan but these ones are barely edible.

Granny Smith. Great for cooking and for eating out of hand.

Mealy apples are terrible for pie, they break down into a soupy substance when you try. You want to use firm, crisp apples for pie. Mealy apples are best either eaten out of hand or made into juice or sauce.

I think these are a hidden gem or something. They're tied for the cheapest at the store and at self checkout I have to enter the PLU code because it's not in the database otherwise. Definitely the best value apple, at least.

I like McIntosh apples because they're a little softer for eating raw. The yellow ones seem softer too. I was just wondering if anyone here would know because searching for the answer myself just gave a lot of unclear and conflicting information.

a medium sized one, cause they're easier to cram up my ass
