I bought a couple of Cosmic Crisp at TJ's too. My wife and I thought they were good, with a texture like Honeycrisp, but not as flavorful. But the flavor of Honeycrisp is variable depending on growing region, market chain, etc. We are moving in a few weeks to NE OR, just south of Walla Walla. I'm looking for locally grown Cosmic Crisp next year for the real test.
I think the price TJ's is selling them at will have to come down if they want to keep selling them. Bill William H.

The clerk exclaimed about how terrific they are. I haven't taken a bite, yet. I was pleasantly surprised to see at least eight apple cultivars in the shelves, though. My apple discovery this year is the crimson crisp. The flavor is a little "flatter" than some more aromatic apples, but it's a tart, sweet, crunchy apple with a pleasant flavor -- and, it holds up well when cooked, making an excellent apple pie. Next year I'll buy more and mix them with something aromatic in the pies. -- Ginda typed with Swype, who knows what I intended.
