A few months ago, I purchased and consumed my first Granny Smith
apple. It was like an apple I'd always dreamed existed: crisp and
slightly tart, and with a heady apple flavor that was the very essence
of appleness. My own experience with the Granny Smith is that it's a
far more crispy and crunchy apple than ANY red or golden delicious
apple I've ever eaten. It's by far my favorite apple for eating out of
hand, and seems to work well as a cooking apple too.

Now if only I can find a peck of Gravensteins somewhere ...
