If you’re in the NorthEast try and get some Macoun (pronounced Ma-cown) apples in the fall.
They spoil fast and don’t transport well because the skin is extremely thin, but those same qualities make them excellent apples to eat.
Some ratings have them ranked a little lower because they aren’t very sweet but that’s what I love about them. They taste like apple. Not sugar. And the crisp/soft balance is awesome.
Edit: I read the apple rankings site which rates them very poorly. But if you actually read the review the complaint is about shelf life.
Read the comments where people have actually tasted it fresh and most of the commenters consider it the best apple they’ve tasted. But you gotta eat it freshly picked and/or as soon as you get it.
