Cosmic Crisp apples

Cosmic Crisp (known to experts as WA 38) is an American apple variety that's a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise. Grown in Washington State orchards, the apples are large, red, crunchy, juicy, acidic, and sweet.

They can be eaten as they are or baked. These apples ripen more uniformly than other apple varieties, and once picked, they even brown more slowly than the other apples. Another key factor is their lengthy shelf life – apparently, Cosmic Crisp apples can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a year!

The name Cosmic refers to the apple's lenticels, while Crisp is a reference to Honeycrisp apples. Due to the fact that these apples were developed by Washington State University, only those producers that are from Washington State can grow Cosmic Crisp apples.
