redbird: closeup photo of an apricot (food)
( Jan. 29th, 2012 10:17 pm)
Cripp's Pink appears to be a late-season apple and/or one that stores moderately well; if the orchard had it earlier this season we didn't notice it.

It's similar in color and shape to a Gala, and similar but in my opinion inferior in flavor: not as juicy or sweet, but without anything else of interest to make up for that. (That is, an apple might be less sweet but have a good tart flavor, or something more specific; this one doesn't.) Edible, and we probably will eat the one left in the drawer, but I expect we'll go for the Macouns first.
