https://katu.com/news/local/mo...10-19-2019-221809089 Big fan of Honeycrisp apples here....will be interested in trying this new variety out. SweeTango, the last apple that was touted as an "early Honeycrisp" (it ripens several weeks earlier), wasn't my fave. I'm guessing that Cosmic Crisps will be more available in the Pacific Northwet. If anyone has a chance to sample, please report back!

Me too! I like Honeycrisp a lot. But Fuji, when they're good, are still my favorite apple. The other thing to try, if you like apples, is a Nashi pear (might be called an asian pear? and one other name??) These are the Japanese pears that are huge and shaped like an apple. The flavor is very pear-esque, but they are crispy like the best kind of apples. Of course, this is another one that can be hard to find at the right ripe-ness. We ate them all the time in Japan, but almost never buy them here because more often than not, they were picked too soon and never get to the right kind of ripeness.

Never been that big a fan of honeycrisp, not sure why, they were huge deal when we lived in the PNW. My favorite apple is called an opal, and it usually appears in December (it benefits from cold storage before eating, I think). Edited to add, I usually buy Fujis or Galas, and I adore Japanese pears. I miss living in a place that grows a lot of fruit. We must just be too dry with too short a season here to do that.
