Ugh. I hate red delicious apples. They're grainy and disgusting, and taste like shit in pie. Granny Smith reign supreme for me, but Pink Lady and Fuji rank up there.

My top 5 apples: opal, pink lady, kanzi, lemonade, granny smith

Sweet tango, smitten, kanzi, ... All the corporate sponsored apples are pretty damn good. After they fucked up the red delicious and collapsed the apple industry not only did the government bail them out, but all these new delicious apple strains were developed in partnership with corporations

And gala and fuji and some of the older varieties are still good.

I’m a sucker for mutant stone fruit. Cherry plums, plum-apricot things, weird apples, I kept buying grāples one year and have never seen them again.

Me too! Although grapples are sadly just regular apples soaked in grape juice and not some freakishly delicious hybrid.
