Try opal apples. They don’t keep well but if you eat them soon they are exquisite.
Will look for them. We have a gravenstein tree that produces pretty good apples. Gravensteins aren't very common in stores because they have a short season and also don't keep as well. But they are tart and make great pies.

Those are my all time favorite. I grew up on them. My friends have an orchard of huge Gravensteins. We used to get a buck in there every year.

You guys read that. I'll pull out my copy of Cruel Shoes, by Steve Martin. We'll see who's wiser at the end.

I don't think I've had a Cosmic Crisp, but I agree, anyway.
Cosmic Crisps are a new kind of apple, a hybrid between Honeycrisp and Enterprise. It's naturally resistant to disease, very resistant to bruising and browning, and has a long shelf life before becoming mealy. It's also pretty tasty.

Fun fact, they are hybrids, not GMO. I don't understand the difference, but I am told there is one.

To me they are not much different from Gala apples.
for baking I prefer Grany Smiths
Granny Smith is the gold standard for pies. :)
