i'll admit it. i'm a bit of an apple snob. ok, a lot of an apple snob. i literally have an apple each day and i love it. i look forward to it. but, i won't have just any apple. enemies? sandiness and lack of flavor, so out go the red delicious, oft times a gala, nothing golden, and for heavens sake no granny smiths unless caramel is involved. i usually reach for a pink lady.recently i've found a new love. my local market was having a sale on ambrosia apples. at 0.77/lb i thought i'd branch out. so glad i did. they are on the medium to large size and perfectly crisp. not too hard, but no trace of sand. the flavor you ask? amazing. so sweet. i'm pretty sure it's candy. i'm so in love with this variety that i googled it. it's a relatively new breed and hails from canada. aaron, maple syrup, alanis morissette (during jr high only), and now this beauty are all things i love from canada. i have sampled from two separate crops and they were both delicious. if you see them in your market, try them and let me know what you think!
