The Cosmic Crisp Apple was developed from a cross of honey crisp apples and enterprise apples. The Cosmic Crisp is the darker apple pictured on the left and on the right is a honey crisp. The apples are suppose to taste similar but the Cosmic Crisp is developed to have a much longer shelf life.

Lets give them a taste and see what I Forking think.

I did notice before I tasted the apples that the Cosmic Crisp are harder to slice.

Trying a slice of Cosmic Crisp.

It’s a good tasting apple with sweetness, apple flavor and acidity. The skin might be a little tough….though.

Now trying a slice of Honey Crisp.

This apple is much lighter in texture, much juicier, much sweeter and easier to eat….

Back to the Cosmic Crisp….After a slice of honey Crisp I know that the Cosmic Crisp is a MUCH DENSER Apple. I wonder if it has more calories because the Honey Crisp almost…I mean ALMOST seems like watermelon texture compared to the Cosmic Crisp. After eating the Honey Crisp I really notice how tough the skin on it is.

We didn’t finish all this apple on day one so I got to try them again together the next day.

Day two- The Cosmic Crisp is still more dense. The only difference on day two is that I thought it was as sweet as the Honey Crisp…..To me it seemed like the flavors were more concentrated on day two. Day Two the flavors in the cut Honey Crisp seemed slightly diluted.

Both the Cosmic Crisp and Honey Crisp are very good apples.

I do note that I only purchased one Cosmic Crisp apple from AJ’s Fine Foods at $3.99 a pound. My Honey Crisp was recently on sale for around 95 cents a pound.

That was my Forking Thoughts of my First Taste of comparing the Cosmic Crisp Apple to the Honey Crisp Apple.
