Let's get wild, Sweet Cheeks! The WildTwist apple was originally marketed as the Sweet Cheeks apple but it was decided that was a weird and possibly offensive name for an apple. I don't think WildTwist is the best name either but here's the scoop.
Two legendary apples come together in a World unifying, gravity defying, Earth shattering, Universal collaboration of our heroes, HoneyCrisp and Cripps Pinks and the Bloods (also know as Pink Lady). It is more sweet than tart, juicy, crunchy, without being snappy. HoneyCrisps are snappy. That means when you bite into one and rip you teeth from the flesh like a rabid dog, a big chunk comes off clean. The skin is thin and not bitter like the Satan's spawn that is the Red Delicious. It has a slight floral forward flavor.
My wife, we'll call her Laura, picked a single WildTwist up for me a few weeks ago at Sendik's Food Market in Brookfield. Only one apple for my review. I had to be very careful with it. I wrapped it in swaddling clothes and placed it, ever so gently into the safest part of the crisper in our 2014 Frigidaire Gallery. Some apples are best right from the tree. WildTwist are better a few months after picking.
That's pretty much it. I like 'em and would eat more of 'em. While I write this, I am listening to Led Zeppelin: In Through the Out Door and I am loving it, haven't heard it in years!
I hope to have some more apples to review soon but the next few will be for apple related products. Next time, I review the Apple Pie Kit Kat. Crunch on!
