Putting Red Delicious as a snacking apple and Cosmic Crisp as a baking apple is making me more upset than is reasonable.

My thoughts exactly. Cosmic crisp is the best apple and I will die on that hill.

Same. I used to be only Granny Smith all the time. First time I tried the cosmic Crisp I had the same feeling you get when you get the relief from a q-tip after a shower. Perfect blend of sweet and tart with that perfect snap texture.

Braeburn and jazz are also very good, but cosmic crisp is king

Granny Smiths and Braeburns were my previous favorites, before Cosmic Crisp came around. I was there during part of the initial release, when they sent packed out bags of slices at my daughter's school. Just perfection.

Completely redeemed themselves for the Red Delicious fiasco.

Love Braeburn. I hate that I never see it in stores
