I’ve become a recent convert to Envy. They seem more robust than Fuji and taste at least as good. With other varieties, I’d always go though a cycle where I liked them for a few weeks, then got a few gross ones and I’d give them up for a few weeks, and repeat. I haven’t had a gross Envy yet despite going for several months. The price is decent too!

Couldn't agree more about Envy... and that said, I was at an event where I got to sample a Cosmic Crisp apple and happy to say that it's pretty good. Not sure if it's better than Envy, but... it's very close.

Currently, when shopping I'd go with Envy > Braeburn > Honeycrisp (seasonally, the go off so quickly) > Cameo > Gala... Courtland are somewhere in there.

Also I live in Texas and all the apples here taste bad compared to Washington and New York and New England. Apples, bagels, and pizza... you just can't get good ones in Austin... and it sucks.

as someone who also lives in Austin i have certainly found this to be the case. the only places that one can get a reasonably decent apple seem to be either sprouts, central market, or whole foods, but the problem there is the whole "we're all natural and responsibly sourced" tax that raises the price significantly and makes it an untenable position to maintain for someone like me who tends to have a lot of trouble generating reliable income

To me, Envy is considerably better than Fuji.

Hm I'm a Fuji/Gala guy and never even seen an envy. I usually like to try out different varieties when I get fruits though. I'll have to keep a look out

Thanks for the tip!
