Appearance – 3”H, mottled/striped light red/pink skin. Flesh is supposed to be red throughout but mine was much lighter with streaks of pink in the mostly pale yellow.
Taste – Definitely tart with a little bit of sweet at the beginning, but not particularly crunchy, so a softer apple. Mine was several days old before I got around to trying it so it wasn’t as good and the texture felt kind of mealy; a fresher apple would probably be crisper and tastier. The biggest disappointment for me was the coloring of the flesh – online sources have photos with a bright red/pink flesh but mine was not even close to that (see below). The coloring was definitely different and not what I was expecting, but then again – perhaps a fresher apple might look different. I’ve been checking out the apple bins each time I’m in the store but I haven’t found it again, definitely a harder one to locate.
