Ok you guys, it's apple season and this is the time of year when I become an unpaid shill for Sweetango apples

I discovered these a few years ago when I was trying out different apple varieties. I like to cut up apples and snack on them; I usually have at least half an apple per day. I was tired of Galas (my go-to at the time), had tried Envy (too sweet), Honeycrisp (too inconsistent and sometimes bitter??), and a few others that just didn't do it for me.

I brought home some Sweetangos and they blew my freaking mind. They taste just like apple cider. They have a thin skin with a nice snap when you bite into it. The flesh is the perfect consistency of firm but easily chewable. They're a good balance between sweet and tart. Did I mention they taste EXACTLY like apple cider??

The catch is that they're only in season from late September to maybe mid-December, and not all stores seem to carry them. I've found them at Fred Meyer, Safeway, and Trader Joe's myself, though it may be different in your area. If you're even a casual apple-snacker, you gotta try these things. I rave about them to everyone I know IRL so it seems only fair I do the same to my followers.
