There's a new apple out called JAZZ, love it, and it's as good as the honeycrisp, which is now my favorite. I slice them and soak them in pineapple juice, and snack on a slice instead of reaching for a cookie.
I think some of the varieties your testers tasted were simply bad apples. A crisp Golden Delicious can be great, a mealy one absolutely horrible. I currently love Honeycrisps, and find them sweet, tart, and very crunchy, but fortunately for us all, there are so many varieties to choose from!
I've been apple obsessed lately, sampling every new variety I come across. Ambrosia apples are my current fave.
We have a Crab-apple tree in my backyard at home ... the tiny green apples are really tart but they sure are yummy.
For eating, Fuji all the way, baby. I love Braeburns for eating too, but I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree about their potential as good baking apples. Last Thanksgiving I baked a Braeburn apple pie and the fruit part of it was a disaster. I go with Granny Smith instead now.
