I grew up loving Golden Delicious apples. Our family preferred the Delicious family, whether Red or Golden. Jonathans also had a following in the Dennie clan, but always secondary to Delicious. I personally have always preferred Golden.

In recent years, my preferred apple has become the Fuji. I like the consistency, the taste, and the juiciness.

But now along comes the Pacific Rose apple, which Scott's has had for the past two weeks. Sweet, juicy, a pinkish-red hue--absolutely splendid. The best apple I've ever had. And evidently, they are becoming popular.
